Abstract: This application relates to simulation equipment, and more particularly to an apparatus and method for simulating a line running state of magnetic levitation. The apparatus includes a levitation-guidance mechanism, a moving mechanism and a magnetic guideway fluctuation simulated mechanism. The levitation-guidance mechanism is configured to detect a force on a single Dewar of a maglev train to be simulated. The moving mechanism is configured to move the levitation-guidance mechanism. The magnetic guideway fluctuation simulated mechanism is arranged below the levitation-guidance mechanism, and is configured to apply a variable force to the levitation-guidance mechanism. The variable force is configured to simulate a constantly-variable electromagnetic force applied to the levitation-guidance mechanism by a real track.
