Application of virtual design to belt conveyor

With the virtual reality and the dynamic simulation, a belt conveyor design software system based on the virtual design is developed. By means of the object-oriented component technique, a series of visible dynamic graphic components are built and applied to the virtual model design of belt conveyor. The system has more functions such as visual modeling dynamic profile, testing model, analyzing virtual load, simulating dynamic response, virtual monitoring and controlling, and building three-dimensional virtual scene, etc. It is proved that the system can be very effective, time-saving, low-cost, and with high quality, safety and credibility.
