With the development of educational informationization, the deep integration of information technology and curriculum teaching has become the development trend of modern education. The traditional university physics teaching cannot meet the needs of teachers and students in engineering universities under the new situation. More and more teachers and researchers try to integrate modern education technology into the university physics teaching. This paper focuses on the application of virtual simulation software in university physics teaching. This study takes university physics teaching as the research object, and discusses the application of virtual simulation software in university physics teaching. The Significance of Virtual Simulation Software in University Physics Teaching (1) Visually presenting the physical situation, enhancing the students' audiovisual experience
