Chapter 18 Construction of the Special Vehicle Dynamic Simulation System Based on Virtools

摘要

In this paper, the dynamic simulation system for special vehicles is established rapidly on the basis of the vehicle dynamic study with the combined mode of PRO/E, 3DS MAX, and Virtools, realizing the highly reusing of the model. Engineering design and simulation was carried out at the same time, so the efficiency was improved and the design cycle was shortened. Some main contents for this thesis are as the follows: (1) imports data from PRO/E; (2) creates the 3D virtual scene with 3DSMAX; (3) processes and interacts on this model with Virtools Dev. It is showed by practice that it can make the developments of virtual simulation system more simplification, and can improve the efficiency, the facility, and the interaction, etc. At last, a summary and a prospect are made in this thesis.
