Design of Crane Virtual Simulation Teaching Assessment System

With the rapid development of cranes, crane teaching aids cannot follow up with new products in real time, and the teaching cost is high and the space utilization rate is low. In order to solve these problems, we used SolidWorks and 3ds Max to carry out mechanical modeling in the virtual environment. Based on the Unity3D development engine, we designed a virtual simulation teaching evaluation system for cranes, which completed the design of modules for cognitive teaching, maintenance, fault repairing and teaching assessment. The system takes advantage of virtual technology’s features of immersion, interaction and imagination. Therefore, it solves the problem of the slow update of teaching aids in the teaching process of cranes effectively, saves teaching costs greatly, overcomes the traditional teaching boring shortcomings, and improves the efficiency of port machinery education. And It plays an important role in promoting the application of virtual reality technology in education and training.
