Abstract: Dam construction system simulation has proved to do great help to the decision making during the period of system design and construction process, however, the two key issues like the model validity and its simulation result offering, still not be well solved, which will limit the decision makers or users to understand the simulation results, and affect the simulation technology being widespread used in the field. Multi-techniques of visualization, like 2D or 3D, static or dynamic, can efficiently help the system developer and the users to understand the comprehensive and complex model of construction process, and facilitate the detection of logic errors in the simulation models. Meanwhile, they can help to quickly master the data information coming from the model operation. Concrete dam integration visualization simulation system (DamVSIS) is an effective software system developed by authors, which can be used to the Arch Dam or Gravity Dam construction simulation with the pouring machine by cable-cranes, and now we are extending its functions for the various pouring machines. The simulation system can be easy operated by the users for its good interface with visual-operation, and the 2D graph can dynamicly show the system operation process, and other diversity visual-techniques help to depict the results from multi-points of view, like the table, chart. 3D simulation with real environment further helps the decision maker to understand the system quickly and easily according to any simulation parameters.
