Research on the application of 3D visualization and virtual reality (VR) in discrete-event simulation (DES) has received increased attention in the past two decades. The increasing popularity of the 3D display in DES is mainly due to superior display capabilities and the associated benefits that it offers. However, the 2D display also continues to enjoy active use to date, thus provoking some fierce debates questioning the need for the 3D and VR if the 2D interface suffices. Several studies comparing the effectiveness of the different visualization methods also produce different conclusions. This paper undertakes a meta-analysis of the different positions and synthesizes the findings from 162 studies on the impacts of the 2D display versus 3D/VR on user performance on various DES tasks. The results highlight four key findings. First, the perception that the 2D display is more effective for model development is misleading as 3D/VR offers overall better performance and quality of models. Second, 3D/VR enables more effective performance than 2D display for model verification and validation. Third, 3D/VR decreases the time taken for verification, validation, experimentation, and analysis of results, but can increase model development time. Finally, the latent variables such as the application domains and nature of the problems tackled have no direct or indirect influence on the efficacy of the 3D display/VR versus 2D on DES task performance.

We present a system to simulate the dynamic object behavior of an automation plant within an interactive virtual environment. The area of application is the field of industrial training and educational software systems. Our contribution is a method to simulate the material flow through the plant in real time using a time discrete game physics simulator in combination with a petri net based state model. The dynamic behavior of virtual objects and the user interaction with the virtual environment is described using a component-and data flow based approach. We conducted several test series to assess the physical plausibility of our model.

“…DEVS begin to be applied to industrial production systems. For example, Choi et al [6] have developed a factory simulator, which can give virtual 3D representation of an automated manufacturing system by employing a job-resource relation network systematically converted to a DEVS model. Equivalent ideas were presented in [1], applied to a FMS plant.…”
