The AnyLogic Conference 2021 was online and presented a record number of cutting-edge simulation models from world-leading organizations to 2000 participants from over 100 countries. Starting in the Tokyo morning and continuing non-stop to the Californian afternoon, for over 23 hours, on September 23 the conference followed the sun and gave simulation modelers around the world an opportunity to connect and learn simulation modeling at the cutting-edge.

Here are the presentation slides and recordings...

At AnyLogic Conference 2021, Python came to the fore in a presentation by Principal Software Engineer Nikolay Churkov. He informed attendees about ongoing research into making Python a second native scripting language in AnyLogic.

Presently in a preview state, the experimental version of AnyLogic 8 is available for a limited number of users. If you are interested in taking part in the trials of using Python as the scripting language for user code fields, read on!

Introducing AnyLogic 8.7.7. In this release, we have enhanced the Material Handling Library with updates to storage functionality.

In this release, we've reimagined the RackStore, RackPick, and RackSystem blocks of the Process Modeling Library, as well as the PalletRack markup element. We now present you with their latest versions of their continuing evolution.

A how-to video that shows how to easily import walls from a CAD drawing into an AnyLogic simulation model.

By following the video, you will learn how to quickly create wall elements in an AnyLogic model from a CAD file. This method particularly speeds-up the creation models for pedestrian simulations. Watch the video and learn more...

Why use simulation modeling in education and research? This is the question we answer in our new white paper. In the paper, we dive into how simulation is used in both teaching and research. If you are conducting research, teaching, or just starting you journey of learning, simulation is a powerful and enlightening tool to work with.

Dive into simulation in research and education in our white paper, try the example models, and see how simulation is being used. Read on!

AnyLogic specialist Gennady Parshin simulates production operations at the United Metallurgical Company - a world leader in the production of large diameter pipes. In this article, Gennady shares his experience in modeling complex technological processes using AnyLogic and talks about how United Metallurgical Company (OMK) engineers simulate the operation of overhead cranes. We publish this article on his behalf.

After great deliberation, The AnyLogic Company (AnyLogic) and FlexSim Software Products, Inc. (FlexSim) have decided they will not be attending, exhibiting, or sponsoring at the 2021 Winter Simulation Conference (WSC). The simulation leaders have had ongoing concerns with the organization and direction of recent WSC events. Despite numerous attempts to communicate with conference organizers, AnyLogic and FlexSim did not feel that the organizing committee could reasonably address their concerns.

The AnyLogic conference is an event that brings together simulation professionals from different industries from all over the world. At the conference, they share their projects and ideas, and learn how others solve similar business problems using AnyLogic. Come join us!

Here are details about the format of the conference, the speakers, and a link to the event program.

We are previewing a major new version of our flagship product AnyLogic – AnyLogic 9. The interface is being entirely redesigned and will be browser-based so that you have a common user experience on desktop and online.

In this series of blog posts, we show how we are making AnyLogic 9 more user-friendly. We have already talked about the full integration of the program with AnyLogic Cloud and new mechanics for working with process diagrams. Today we will show how the new version of the toolbar differs from the current one.

We have a new white paper about the value of simulation modeling for consultants and their clients and the benefits of choosing the right simulation modeling tool.

Simulation modeling offers organizations an alternative to the traditional methods of spreadsheet-based analysis or linear programming and can be superior when developing solutions for complex systems and processes. In many cases, consultants are key to accessing these possibilities that simulation modeling has to offer. Find out more and download...
