As illustrated in Chap. 2, a user of CPN Tools observes the execution of a CPN model directly in its graphical representation. Even though the CPN modelling language supports abstraction and a concept of hierarchical modules there can still be an overwhelming amount of detail in a constructed CPN model. Furthermore, observing every single step in a simulation is often too detailed a level of observation for investigating the behaviour of a model, especially for large CPN models. This can be a limitation when, for example, presenting a CPN model to colleagues unfamiliar with the CPN modelling language and discussing the model with them. The basic idea of behavioural visualisation is to augment the CPN model with visualisation graphics that reflect the execution of the model.
