Real-Time Dynamic Simulation System for Tunnel Construction Based on OpenGL

Comprehensively using the theories and techniques in connection with the tunnel engineering, geometric modeling, computer graphics, object-oriented method and software engineering, the authors in this paper have made research on the techniques for the three-dimensional solid modeling, tunnel realistic scene graphics rendering and tunnel construction real-time dynamic simulation and on the basis of the research, the authors developed an openGL-based real-time dynamic simulation system for tunnel construction. The application of the developed system to a practical tunnel shows that the system has very good vista of application in aspect of the progress control, organization and management of the tunnel construction.
