Abstract: In order to solve some shortages for the traditional training of cutter suction dredger, a virtual simulation system was designed using Unity3D, which mainly targeted at operational procedures of construction and display of construction environment. Mesh deformation and texture changing were used to realize the simulation of the soil-cutting. The 2D path simulation which included the simulation of stone crushing and proportion of sand in the pipeline was realized by means of path-finding algorithm. 3D display and human-computer interaction were realized by virtual reality devices, which could improve the effect of the virtual simulation.

Key words: cutter suction dredger, Unity3D, soil-cutting, path simulation, virtual reality devices
