Final notes

Simulation animation

Although it is perfectly fine to make a 'headless' simulation model and use it as a service to run scenario analysis, its implementation as a desktop application is much more expressive and helpful when an explanation is needed why the system behaves one way or another.

Making such an application from scratch is simplified by the wizard. Besides, we have reused most part of the simulation logic we had created in Part 1 and Part 2. In Part 3 we spent some time making the simulation model presentation useful: users can watch their trucks traveling among assets on the map, see what each truck is doing now and what tasks it has done before.
