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?

Learn how to model multi-level environments and how to simulate automated guided vehicles and cranes in this webinar video recording with supporting materials.

Using four example models, our in-house simulation expert and head of training in North America, Dr. Arash Mahdavi, introduces the fundamentals of the AnyLogic Material Handling Library. Understand the possibilities the library presents and see how to get started.

AnyLogic Help has a new tutorial: Lead Acid Battery Production (Material Handling). By following the tutorial, you can learn how to model material handling processes using AnyLogic’s specialized Material Handling Library. The tutorial explains step-by-step how to create a model of a lead-acid battery production line. The model includes path-guided and free-space automatic guided vehicles (AGV), conveyors, and cranes. Check it out!

Along with the release of AnyLogic 8.5, came the new features of AnyLogic Cloud API 8.5.0. Using the API, you can configure and remotely run simulation models in the cloud, as well as create user interfaces for them. You can find out about these and other features in our previous blog. In this post, the focus is on analyzing the new features and trying out the examples.

Follow the examples and find out how to use the AnyLogic Cloud API to remotely run experiments and create custom user interfaces.

JavaScript code snippets are provided so that you can reproduce the examples for yourself. Here's what you need to get started! Dive in!

A how-to video that shows how to make your process flow charts simple and clear.

By following the video, you will learn how to create a custom block. These not only help clarify model logic but can also help speed up the modeling process. Check out the how-to video, you can also get a t-shirt...

Learn how and why machine learning is being used in AnyLogic simulation. An introduction to the topic with examples of the progress made in reinforcement learning and an example model to try yourself.

You can see the reinforcement learning at work in an example simulation model video or download the model. The download includes source files, libraries and documentation, so you can see how it all works!

The AnyLogic 8.4 update comes with several important updates. One of them relates to the Material Handling Library. Now we have a new space markup element - the Crane.

Here, we will teach you how to use these new elements, using the example models: MoveByCrane and Jib Cranes at Press Shop. Let's go!

A how-to video with a technique that can be applied in many areas, including for conveyors, roads and highways, railroads, and staircases.

This video shows how to quickly setup a spiral conveyor in AnyLogic, with guidance on layout, process logic, and 3D refinements. Take a look and pick up tips for your AnyLogic simulation modeling...

The material Handling Library is a major part of AnyLogic and this ‘how-to’ explores how to get started with the library. It is the third in a series – the first two beginning with the basic functionality of the library and how to model conveyors and transporters.

In this part we will look at the processes and elements on a solar panel production line. Let's get started!
