Chiller System Installation and Maintenance

The Chiller System Installation and Maintenance Simulation trains students on the installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of chiller systems used in commercial buildings for large-scale cooling applications. Students will practice virtually installing air-cooled and water-cooled chiller systems, connecting them to cooling towers and air handlers. Maintenance tasks include cleaning chiller tubes, monitoring refrigerant levels, and inspecting compressors. Troubleshooting scenarios will focus on issues like reduced cooling capacity, refrigerant leaks, and mechanical failures. Real-time feedback will be provided on system performance, energy consumption, and efficiency optimization.

Welding Blueprint Reading and Symbols

The Welding Blueprint Reading and Symbols simulation uses XR to enhance understanding of welding blueprints and symbols, enabling accurate interpretation and application of welding instructions.

Structural Dynamics and Vibration Analysis

Delve into the analysis and mitigation of vibrations in aerospace structures to enhance safety and performance. This XR-enabled simulation provides students with virtual scenarios where they can study vibration patterns in aircraft and spacecraft structures using modal analysis techniques. Interactive lessons on damping, frequency response, and resonance reduction in critical components empower students to optimize the structural integrity of aerospace systems.

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.

Fixture Design and Workholding Techniques

Explore XR-based simulations for designing and using fixtures, jigs, and workholding devices for machining complex parts. Students will engage in virtual fixture design, learning to create custom fixtures to hold irregularly shaped workpieces securely. The interactive lessons cover clamping techniques, workpiece alignment, and ensuring rigidity during cutting operations. Real-time feedback helps students assess the effectiveness of their fixture designs, machining stability, and part accuracy, all while improving their ability to handle complex machining tasks.
