Critical Path calculation (dependencies + resources)

The aim of the critical path (CP) is to obtain a list of constraints (precedence, date, operation attributes...) that are critical and/or limiting in the proposed solution to evaluate the risk of having delays on them or to define which ones can be modified in order to reduce the TAT. The identification of the critical path will need to be done after the optimization has considered the dependancies, the level of resources and the occupation of the zones. This can either be performed as an automatic post-process after the end of the optimization, or as an another process to be launched when the obtained solution is good enough for the user. It would be ideal to have a method to export the list of constraints in the CP. Moreover, if possible, it would be good to be able to display the elements of the CP in the Gantt view (highlighting them or changing their color-operations, precedence or any other visible constraint) and being able to activate or deactivate this display feature. The same feature would want to be applied in the Resources view.
