Abstract

Visualizing simulated construction operations is an effective means of communicating the logic and the inner working of simulation models in a comprehensive and comprehendible manner. This can facilitate both model verification and validation and help establish credibility of simulation analyses. Due to the inherent working nature of discrete-event simulation systems, visualizing simulated operations in a smooth and continuous manner in 3D virtual worlds presents numerous interesting challenges. This paper describes research being conducted at Virginia Tech to enable smooth and scalable dynamic 3D visualization of discrete-event construction simulations
