Abstract
This paper presents a continuous research effort the animation function in the development of the Activity-Based Construction (ABC) modeling and simulation system. ABC animation uses the constructed ABC simulation model as the animation background; and pre-created images of simulation entities move around along individual execution paths on the ABC model. A library of icons consisting of common construction entities has been created in the ABC system. To perform animation function in ABC only involves one simple additional task for the user to select an appropriate icon for a simulation entity.
