Research on Real-Time Interactive Simulation for Concrete Dam Construction Process Based on Vega

Abstract:

Combining the techniques of discrete event simulation and virtual-reality, research on real-time interactive simulation for concrete dam construction process is conducted, under the virtual-reality environment. The key technologies are discussed, including the modeling of DEM, optimization for real-time displaying of 3D scene, collision checking, real-time interaction and so on. A framework for the system of virtual-reality simulation for concrete dam construction operations based on Vega is presented. Virtual-reality supplies for construction simulation with a real-time interactive 3D simulation environment to inspect the validity of simulation model, which improves the simulation credibility and becomes a helpful tool for real-time decision making of construction operations. An example is performed to illustrate the feasibility of the system.
