Structural Analysis and Design

This XR simulation teaches students the principles of structural analysis and the design of buildings, bridges, and other infrastructures. Virtual scenarios allow students to analyze the strength, stability, and behavior of structures under various loads (e.g., dead loads, live loads, wind loads, seismic loads). Students use interactive tools to design beams, columns, trusses, and frames, selecting materials like steel, concrete, and timber. The simulation provides feedback on stress distribution, load-bearing capacity, safety factors, and compliance with engineering standards, helping students make sound design decisions.

Material Science and Engineering

Explore the properties, behaviors, and applications of engineering materials through interactive XR simulations.

Electrical Safety and Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) Simulation

Learn electrical safety protocols, focusing on Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures to prevent accidental energizing of equipment during maintenance or repairs. Through virtual simulations, students will practice securing electrical circuits using LOTO procedures and identify potential hazards such as electrocution, arc flash, and fire. Real-time feedback will be provided on safety practices, risk assessment, and adherence to OSHA regulations.

Electrical Systems and Control Wiring

The Electrical Systems and Control Wiring Simulation trains users in installing and troubleshooting electrical wiring and control systems in HVAC units. The simulation allows virtual practice with wiring components such as compressors, fans, motors, and thermostats. Interactive scenarios provide troubleshooting experience with common electrical issues like faulty wiring, blown fuses, and tripped breakers. Real-time feedback focuses on wiring accuracy, electrical load, and system functionality.

HVAC Load Calculation and System Sizing

The HVAC Load Calculation and System Sizing Simulation teaches students how to calculate heating and cooling loads and properly size HVAC systems for different buildings. Virtual tools are provided for load calculation, factoring in building insulation, square footage, number of occupants, and climate conditions. Students then engage in interactive scenarios to select the appropriate HVAC equipment based on the calculated loads. Real-time feedback is provided on the accuracy of system sizing, energy efficiency, and overall occupant comfort.

Sustainability and Energy Efficiency in Mechatronics

Explore the principles of sustainable mechatronics design, with a focus on energy efficiency and resource management. Through virtual simulations, students will analyze the energy consumption of various mechatronic systems and processes, engage in interactive scenarios to optimize systems for energy efficiency, reduce waste, and improve sustainability. Real-time feedback on energy usage, cost savings, and environmental impact helps students refine their design choices for maximum sustainability.

LMS Integration

imaginX seamlessly integrates with leading LMS (Learning Management Systems), enabling educators to track student performance and allowing students to maintain their work records.
