Abstract

Hydraulic equipment disassembly and assembly stand as pivotal practical components within the realm of marine engineering. This educational segment pertains to the dismantling and reassembly training focused on typical hydraulic pumps, motors, and control valve components present in deck machinery and specialized operational equipment. Currently, students are limited to static learning environments where they acquire foundational knowledge regarding disassembly and assembly methods, working principles, and structural composition of hydraulic equipment. Regrettably, opportunities for performance parameter testing and dynamic characteristic analysis are absent. To counter this educational gap, a novel practical teaching paradigm based on AMESim virtual simulation appears. This innovative model integrates a virtual simulation platform into physical teaching sessions, empowering students to autonomously construct simulation systems and delve into the analysis of equipment’s dynamic characteristics through hydraulic simulation circuits. This pioneering practical teaching approach not only enriches the educational spectrum regarding hydraulic equipment disassembly and assembly but also elevates students' overall proficiency in hydraulic practical skills.
