A novel, fully virtual FEM-Lab is currently under development at the Institute of Forming Technology and Lightweight Components of TU Dortmund University, giving access to undergraduate students so they can learn about forming processes in detail by actively changing the process parameters. Fundamental knowledge about Finite-Element-Analysis (FEA) is provided during numerical experimentation such that previous knowledge is not necessary to use this kind of virtual laboratory.","PeriodicalId":283954,"journal":{"name":"2017 4th Experiment@International Conference (exp.at'17)","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114033354","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Remote laboratories make laboratory equipment more accessible to both on-campus and off-campus students. However, assistance to students experimenting outside the scheduled supervised classes is hard to provide and therefore usually not available in remote laboratories. With the advancements in software engineering and intelligent systems, it is a natural step forward to develop intelligent tutoring systems that will assist students in online experimentation when a human tutor is not available. In this article, we present our work in this direction.","PeriodicalId":283954,"journal":{"name":"2017 4th Experiment@International Conference (exp.at'17)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114326034","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The data from the sensors and the implemented control action are stored in a database so that it can be remotely accessed through the internet.
