If you follow our blog, you will know that we are currently working on AnyLogic 9 — a new version of the industry leading simulation tool.
Blog readers can see AnyLogic 9 in action right now. We are launching a series of articles to provide insight into some of the key changes that will come with the ninth major version of AnyLogic. Here, we will demonstrate the creation of flowcharts: in the new version, they are easier to create and edit.
New chapters are available for download.
The 'Big Book of Simulation Modeling, Multimethod Modeling with AnyLogic 8', is the essential text for those learning simulation modeling and AnyLogic. It is the only book to comprehensively present the three major methods in simulation modeling: agent-based, system dynamics, and discrete-event.
Suitable for new users, intermediate, and advanced, the book provides examples and step-by-step guides based on a variety of application areas. Read on and download the new chapters to read.
AnyLogic 8.7 and AnyLogic Cloud received updates at the end of March. Here is a quick overview of the improvements in AnyLogic 8.7.3 and AnyLogic Cloud.
New density map function. Now the map can display density not only for the current moment, but also the average for a specified period. For example, you can track the hourly change in the number of people in a store, or the average number of forklifts travelling through a workshop area per shift. To do this, in the map settings, select the Sliding window option in the Time period parameter.

Advanced material handling at Walmart resulted from simulation modeling. Leading companies around the world are benefiting from using simulation modeling in their material handling design and analysis. Learn why and how simulation is ideal for complex material handling challenges in our white paper with real-world business cases...
Accenture partnered with San Francisco based AI company Pathmind to investigate the potential of new reinforcement learning (RL) opportunities in simulation.
The results obtained were extremely good. The method produced a waiting time more than 4x shorter than the Nearest Agent heuristic.
In this blog post, Agustin Albinati summarizes the model, introduces the three key considerations when defining the neural net, and presents the results of his team's investigations. Linked at the end of the blog post is a step by step how-to with Pathmind. Read on!
As COVID-19 vaccines have become available, many challenges have needed resolving. Not least, ensuring sufficient supply and effective distribution.
At our webinar, March 2021, guest presenter Dr. Ali Asgary of York University, Canada, gave insight into the development and use of a drive-through mass COVID-19 vaccination simulation. He provided details of its machine learning model and online application, including how public authorities are using the results in their vaccination rollouts. Here are the webinar details, recording, and Q&A answers.
In 2017, we released AnyLogic Cloud to the public. With a userbase of around 10,000 modelers, it is now the largest public online platform for people working in simulation.
The public version of the service is available to everyone, allowing them to run models and experiments. Online models and experiment results can be shared online and run from a browser. The platform leverages the advantages of cloud computing: this way complex experiments are performed faster than on a regular computer, and the quality of animation depends minimally on the power of your device.
The Winter Simulation Conference from INFORMS is a major event each year on the simulation modeling calendar. The event brings together leading simulation modeling practitioners, academics, and software vendors.
AnyLogic simulation software is longstanding favorite at the conference, with the software featuring in more case studies than any other simulation modeling tool. Here are presentation and workshop highlights, including videos and papers.
If you are simulating the movement of trains, the operation of railway junctions, or rail systems in general, we recommend watching our Rail Library webinar.
The webinar focuses on the specialized AnyLogic library for modeling and simulating rail operations. Presented by SimulAi, AnyLogic’s UK partner, the webinar gives an overview of the Rail Library, provides industrial case studies, and explores new AI possibilities.
