Abstract:To show students the drilling operation process without contacting the real drilling devices, the 3D scene simulation system on drilling based on OpenGL is developed. To realize dynamic simulation of 3D drilling scene, the complicated drilling equipment model is constructed with 3DS MAX, called in OpenGL platform under the form of a list, and controlled to move smoothly in scene using double-buffering technology. This system could reproduce normal drilling, trip out and trip in, Shackle, onslip, etc.
