A new chapter is now online and available for download.
The 'Big Book of Simulation Modeling, Multimethod Modeling with AnyLogic 8', is one of the key resources for both beginners and professionals in simulation modeling. It contains various examples and detailed explanation of the three major methods in simulation modeling: agent-based, system dynamics, and discrete-event.
The new chapter dives deep into the AnyLogic Rail Library, its components, and opportunities for model builders.
A new way to get started with AnyLogic’s Material Handling Library is now available — the MHL Pocket Handbook. At our Planning & Optimizing AGVs and Conveyors webinar with DSE Consulting, June 2020, attendees were introduced to this new interactive tool for learning MHL blocks. Both the pocket handbook and the webinar also provide sneak peeks at some upcoming AnyLogic 8.6 features.
Webinar host Aanand Davé, managing director of DSE Consulting, introduced in-house DSE simulation specialist, Kelvin Yeung, and Jock Richardson, director at agri-tech company Growpura. Together, they demonstrated material handling simulation using AnyLogic and highlighted its use in industry with a model of Growpura’s large-scale hydroponics setup.

The new Big Book of Simulation Modeling: Multimethod Modeling with AnyLogic 8 continues to expand. Download the latest chapters of this key text for learning AnyLogic. The content is valuable for both beginners and professionals in simulation modeling.
The first updated chapter in this blog is about the three main approaches to modeling. The second chapter is devoted to creating interactive models and their controls. The third chapter is about virtual and real-time model operation.
Recent events surrounding the spread of Coronavirus have forced many of us to change our routines and find alternative ways to work and study.
For those of you whose work or study involves AnyLogic, we have gathered a variety of online resources to inspire your simulation modeling – some you may be familiar with; others will be new. Several are also available in different languages.
So, take a deep dive into these online resources and level up with AnyLogic. If you know of anything worthwhile that we have missed, tell us!
The key AnyLogic text is being updated and three new chapters are now online and available for download.
The 'Big Book of Simulation Modeling, Multimethod Modeling with AnyLogic 8', to give it its full name, is the go-to-book for those learning simulation modeling and AnyLogic. It is the only book to comprehensively present the three major paradigms in simulation modeling: agent-based, system dynamics, and discrete-event.
Suitable for both new users and professionals alike, the book provides practical step-by-step guides based on a variety of application areas. Read on, learn what's in the new chapters and download them to read.
The day AnyLogic presented their AnyLogic 8.5 updates I was very excited. In addition to the headline developments I found that they had added a 3D bike object. That reminded me of an old model of bikes that I had uploaded to RunTheModel, and that, in turn, made me think about developing an idea to create a similar model using the process modeling library. Would it be possible to create a discrete-event (DE) model that seems as if it was created entirely using agent-based (AB) modeling?
The industry leading OptQuest simulation optimization engine from OptTek is integrated with AnyLogic to further enhance analysis and decision making with simulation modeling.
The recent release of AnyLogic 8.5 included the latest OptQuest optimizer. Read on and learn from Dr. Ben Thengvall about how to quickly determine optimal parameters for your simulation models with OptQuest.
This free educational textbook uses AnyLogic to teach the art of process centric modeling. Also known as discrete-event modeling, process-centric modeling is good for capturing business processes, where systems can be described as a sequence of actions. Capturing a system in a process-centric model is not always straightforward but, using clear examples and the simulation modeling tool AnyLogic, this book teaches you how.
Benjamin Schumann is an experienced AnyLogic practitioner, with many years of experience simulating business problems. At the AnyLogic Conference he shared his best practices. Built on almost ten years of commercial and academic simulation modeling with AnyLogic, the presentation is specially designed to provide invaluable information for beginners, advanced users, and experts.
