The trend toward animation in simulation yields interesting and exciting new techniques for simulation modeling. We discuss some of the benefits of using animation and propose a hierar chical approach to effectively use animation during all phases of the modeling process. We then illustrate the use of this hierar chical structure with a manufacturing case study involving the integration of AGV's with non-automated material handling devices.
