Industrial sector is now evolving to match the requirements of the industry 4.0; the educational field is also trying to match this advancement. The various trends in the educational field are coming up as an opportunity. Numerous institutes are grabbing these opportunities and shifting towards the virtual laboratories for improving students' practical based knowledge. Virtual labs can be accessed from remote locations and thus they are useful in distance learning. This paper discusses the paradigm shift of traditional labs towards virtual labs in the field of mechanical engineering. It also includes the design and development of MESCOE MECH SM V-Lab, a Virtual lab for Solid mechanics. Results were compared for various experiments acquired through different models developed in the V-Lab. Potency of this lab is validated by taking survey from subject experts and students.
