Why Grow Your Modeling and Simulation Tool Box?


Why Grow Your Modeling and Simulation Tool Box?

Solving every problem is made easier with multiple tools. The AnyLogic modeling and simulation environment gives you multiple modeling languages, for better, more profitable decision making, but which is the best for your individual needs? Well, you’ve come to the right place. Utilizing AnyLogic to solve your complex business problems, will give you a number of tools, combination of tools, and the guidance to choose wisely. Real world problems rarely conform to one modeling language. Continuing to develop models with one methodology, or using software that only supports one method will limit the breadth and depth of your projects and cause unneeded complications. In these cases, a modeler will have to introduce workarounds, and unnatural elements like variables, blocks, and states, making the development process more problematic. This also makes understanding the model structure more difficult for other developers (and even yourself), increasing the unlikeliness that the model’s parts would be reused.

AnyLogic 7 Training in Chicago, IL, USA

These AnyLogic 7 Trainees have just finished building the Bass Diffusion System Dynamics Model, they have moved on to discuss the theory behind Agent-Based modeling and build an SIR Model Calibration. Keep in mind, this is only the start of day 2! The course agenda includes an introduction to multimethod modeling and simulation, both by theory and demonstration, getting you familiar with the AnyLogic software model development environment. Ilya Grigoryev, Head of Training Services made it his top priority to update the training content ensuring a world class program upon the release of AnyLogic 7, our newest version. Now is the best time to sign up for a course and become familiar with AnyLogic 7 capabilities.

Center for Research on Risks and Crises: Custom Training Courses


Center for Research on Risks and Crises: Custom Training Courses

Professors, PhD and postdoctoral students from MINES ParisTech, Ecole Centrale, and The Polytechnic University of Milan, gathered at the Center for Research on Risks and Crisis (CRC) in Sophia Antipolis, France for a four day Custom Training Course with Ilya Grigoryev, Head of Training at The AnyLogic Company. The engagement focused on the formalization and unification of organizations and companies working towards reducing their vulnerability and increasing their resilience to particularly disrupting and damaging events (major technological accident, accidents at work, industrial diseases, natural and environmental contingencies, project risks, operational risks, etc.).

Why Use Multimethod Modeling?


Why Use Multimethod Modeling?

AnyLogic multimethod or multi-paradigm simulation gives you the opportunity to choose the most efficient method or a combination, in order to best address your problem. Whether you are familiar with one or more modeling paradigms, or new to modeling and simulation, employing multimethod modeling capabilities will enhance business process optimization, strategic planning, forecasting and beyond. Let us first take a look into each paradigm and where they are best utilized, then explain where multimethod modeling fits and how it can improve your modeling process and simulation results.

What's New in AnyLogic 7? Flexible resource management


What's New in AnyLogic 7? Flexible resource management

The fourth edition of the “What’s New in AnyLogic 7?” blog will take a closer look into the improvements of flexible resource management. The unnatural difference between “regular” and network based resources have been eliminated during, what the AnyLogic development team and seasoned users call, “The Great Merge.” “The Great Merge” is best depicted by the following scheme, which shows how agents, active objects, entities and resource units now all act as agents with their own behavior.
