Prospect of the application of virtual reality in Mechanical Engineering

Machinery manufacturing industry is an old industry, but also an indispensable industry in the development of the national economy. Below we suppose a user needs a non-standard crane, and the time requirement is very urgent, as an example to discuss the application of VR in mechanical manufacturing industry.
2.1 preliminary design stage
At this stage there are two module can call: one for object library module, including solid modeling crane all parts of various models, size (including attribute information), if prior to all entities all made good, and stored, is time-consuming and a waste of storage space, we use AutoCAD in ADS or ARX parametric modeling; another module method library module, this module is essentially contains all the crane design steps, design criterion and the experience of some experts database, the use of this module, as long as the user input the main design parameters, such as type, tonnage, the system can design scheme of automatic or semi automatic generation of default, the module also allows the user to adjust the crane configuration, and even can be interactively design some non standard parts, in order to achieve the requirements of users, this part compiled with VC++5.0.
By using this system, designers can get the preliminary configuration of the crane design.
Modeling and Simulation of stage 2.2
In this system, solid modeling information designers will be generated in the CAD input to the virtual environment in real time assembly, if found not suitable places, such as the occurrence of interference position, kinematics performance does not meet the requirements, allows the designer to modify or change in the virtual environment, and will modify the information back to the CAD graphics database. Using VRML to establish virtual environment, the interactive method is established by using VRML. The information exchange directly using the DFX file and WRL file conversion technology. This part is mainly through the visual effect, and supplemented with auditory perception, which gives the designer the senses, such as crane appearance, work movement situation, and makes the designers in the virtual environment and the direct interaction model of crane.
