Abstract

The article is devoted to the description of the developed technological standard for the creation of simulators of laboratory installations for the performance of laboratory work by students of technical universities in remote mode. The technology for developing simulators based on 3D modeling of objects in the 3ds MAX environment is proposed, ensuring their interactivity in the Unity environment based on the language of C#. Methods and techniques have been developed to realistically represent and use the simulator's work elements, canvas-based control menus, a general script management scheme, and a sequence of experiment execution on the installation with the filling of the results table and their analysis. Offered a technological simulator template, which can be used to develop a simulator of any laboratory installation, provided that the proposed template includes the appropriate visual and functional features of the installation, but without changing its basic code and user interface, which allows to significantly reduce the time of development of simulators for laboratory work in remote mode.
