摘要：The objective of this paper is to present a 3D visual simulation platform, developed at the
production engineering program of COPPE in the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. The
system was projected, originally, as a tool to let Msc students carry out a full experiment with
a discrete-event simulation model. This paper makes a literature review from a historical
perspective and points to the origins and the directions development of this new research
field. An evaluation of the state of art is carried through as well as the description of the
chances of future developments in this emergent area.
