Its emergence has brought great convenience to education and teaching. The application of virtual simulation software in chemical engineering practical teaching can make up for the lack of practicality in traditional teaching and promote students' practical operation ability. The following article starts with the analysis of concepts related to virtual simulation software, conducts an in-depth analysis of the significance of applying virtual simulation software to chemical engineering practical teaching, and on this basis explores the application strategies of virtual simulation software in chemical engineering practical teaching. 1. Analysis of concepts related to virtual simulation software Virtual simulation software mainly refers to technical software that relies on Internet information technology and uses a virtual system to simulate real scenarios. Virtual simulation software is realistic, and the virtual environment it presents feels as realistic as the real environment. 2. The significance of applying virtual simulation software to chemical engineering practical teaching. With the development of network technology and science and technology, more and more virtual simulation software has been applied to the field of teaching. It not only effectively reduces the number of experiments and the consumption of experimental materials, but also can be compared with experimental results to test the reliability of experimental results. For chemical engineering students, they not only have to learn * A lot of theoretical knowledge, and at the same time, you need to exercise your practical ability and improve your ability to apply theoretical knowledge in practice. At present, there are many chemical experiments that are dangerous to a certain extent, or chemical experiments require high operating ability of the experimenters, and the success rate cannot be guaranteed. In this case, if some chemical engineering experimental processes can be simulated with the help of virtual simulation software, it will not only effectively protect the safety of teachers and students, but also reduce the cost of practical teaching. At present, we sometimes see reports of safety accidents in some university laboratories. The reason is that in addition to insufficient laboratory safety measures and students' weak laboratory safety awareness, the unsatisfactory application of virtual simulation software in the chemical engineering practical teaching process is also one of the reasons. Because chemical engineering experiments are closely related to thermodynamics, and there are currently many widely used thermodynamics software, such as Factsage, Thermal Calc, etc., so if teachers or students first use these thermodynamics simulation software to simulate possible reactions before conducting chemical engineering experiments, they can effectively avoid the occurrence of safety accidents and be aware of the experimental process. Therefore, it is of great significance to apply virtual simulation software to practical teaching of chemical engineering. 3. Application strategies of virtual simulation software in chemical engineering practical teaching. The virtual simulation software developed by Yuandao Technology Development Co., Ltd. is increasingly used in the teaching field with its powerful functions and convenient operation methods, and is welcomed by many teachers and students. For chemical engineering majors, when students do experiments, sometimes their preliminary work preparations are not perfect enough, or the experimental process is careless, which causes large errors in the experimental results, and may even cause some dangers. Therefore, it is very necessary to carry out practical teaching of chemical engineering. However, in traditional chemical engineering practical teaching, due to considerations of safety or complexity of experiments, teachers often only demonstrate the experimental process to students and do not allow students to actually operate. This practical teaching method restricts the development of students' innovative ability and hands-on ability to a certain extent, and also affects the effectiveness of the entire chemical engineering practical teaching. Therefore, if virtual simulation software can be reasonably applied to the chemical engineering practical teaching process and play the role of virtual simulation software, it can effectively improve the quality and efficiency of chemical engineering practical teaching and make up for the shortcomings of traditional chemical engineering practical teaching. (1) Improve teachers’ ability to apply virtual simulation software. On the one hand, we should strengthen the training of teachers so that they can master the methods of applying virtual simulation software to carry out practical teaching work. ； On the other hand, the application of virtual simulation software should be regarded as a basic course, so that every student can master the skills of using virtual simulation software to simulate the experimental process and improve students' scientific research capabilities. In the process of practical teaching, teachers should also consciously guide students to use these simulation software to improve the efficiency of experiments. Of course, teachers must also have the ability in this area, put the application of virtual simulation software in a prominent position, keep the practical teaching methods of chemical engineering up to date, and provide students with more practical ideas. (2) Cultivate students’ awareness of applying virtual simulation software. Chemical engineering experiments have certain unknowns and contingency, and in the process of chemical engineering practical teaching, chemical engineering safety design and other contents may also be involved. These contents can be assisted by virtual simulation software. Therefore, it is necessary to cultivate students' awareness of using virtual simulation software, let them have the awareness of using virtual simulation software in the experiment or design process, and add a research method to them. (3) Recommend some better virtual simulation software self-study platforms to students. Although virtual simulation software is very powerful and can be applied to chemical engineering practice, classroom time is limited after all. It is impossible for teachers to teach students how to use all the functions of these software. Therefore, students still need to use their spare time to master the skills of using software and improve their ability to apply software. The development of Internet technology has also provided students with a variety of learning opportunities. * resources, including some commonly used chemical engineering virtual simulation software, so this provides students with independent learning * Conditions are provided. In this case, in order to better apply virtual simulation software in chemical engineering practical teaching, students should first understand and learn * These software, in order to better play the role of these software. 4. Conclusion In a nutshell, the characteristics of virtual simulation software itself play an important role in its chemical engineering practical teaching. It breaks the shortcomings of traditional chemical engineering practical teaching, promotes the mutual unity of theoretical teaching and practical teaching, and plays an irreplaceable and important role in improving the effectiveness of teaching.
