Development of Virtual Simulation System for Forging and Pressing High-performance Automotive Control Arms
To tackle the challenges in practical teaching of forging and pressing,including high-risk,obscured material forming processes due to closed molds,inability to directly observe microstructures,and the incomplete processing steps,a virtual simulation system for forging and pressing was developed.This system utilizes virtual simulation technology in conjunction with numerical modeling methods,and includes three modules:pre-experiment preparation,experimental operations and exploration,and experimental assessment.The system faithfully replicates the real production process of a mass-produced automotive control arm,employs different input-different feedback driving mode to guide students in independently exploring the forming rules and mechanisms of parts.Teaching practices demonstrate that students not only gain hands-on experience and mastery of the entire production process and quality control methods within this virtual simulation system,but also develop the ability to apply theoretical knowledge to solve real engineering challenges.This approach can significantly enhance the quality of teaching.
