为进行盾构施工研究和降低盾构掘进现场培训给盾构施工相关人员带来的风险，采用数字样机结合虚拟现实技术以拓展传统的虚拟样机的概念，功能上具备虚拟装配、运动仿真、工作过程及各种标矢量场可视化的仿真能力，实现了盾构设备及施工场景的虚拟样机实例研究和实验室盾构操作、维护等培训。

The concept of the traditional virtual prototype of shield machine is enlarged by connecting the digital prototype with the virtual reality, so as to develop the virtual reality system of shield machine and boring. The virtual reality system developed has such functions as virtual assembly, movement simulation and visualized simulation of working procedure and scalars and vectors. The virtual reality system developed is helpful to the study and training in the shield tunneling technology.
