Behavior simulation is an effective method to visualize the meaning of mechanical concepts and has been applied in many computer-aided education systems. These simulations are not useful, however, for a learner who has already formulated an erroneous equation. In order to help the learner to recognize and correct the error, simulating the erroneous equation is a promising method. In this paper,...
