Abstract :
Visualization has become a critical component of simulation technology. Today we cannot imagine doing a simulation without some kind of visualization to help communicate results and get better understanding of a model´s behavior. Model build time and debugging have been significantly improved using 2D and 3D animation. The elements of visualization are discussed to help simulation practitioners understand where animation should be employed and how it can improve the process of simulation modeling. The future of visualization in simulation is also discussed
