“Polymer Physics”, as taught to chemistry undergraduates, is known for its extensive use of theoretical formulas. A key challenge in this course is enhancing students' comprehension of fundamental physical concepts while cultivating theoretical analysis skills. Drawing from practical teaching experience, we developed a virtual simulation teaching software for teaching polymer physics that leverages the interactive and visualization capabilities of virtual simulation technology. This paper presents the platform’s core functionalities and discusses our teaching implementation experiences.
