Abstract: Based on the advancement and effectiveness of the virtual prototype technology in ADAMS software,the teaching and practice of the course "Modeling and Simulation of Virtual Prototype of Mechanical System" mainly focus on the creation of students' innovation ability，combination of lecture and practice，enhancement of practical teaching，and introduction of research achievement into teaching.Based on modeling and simulation in ADAMS/View,the design of this course highlights the multi-disciplinary features of electromechanical engineering,and aims at teaching students to build the kinematic pair and constraint equations,to build and design the parameterization model,to simulate the machine which combines mechanical /hydraulic/electrical system,and to build the tracked vehicle model using ADAMS/ ATV.Through this course design,a new teaching method to improve the innovation ability of students in the university is explored.

Key words: virtual prototype, ADAMS software, modeling, co-simulation, innovation ability
