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!

You won’t hear any apologies from the AnyLogic developers about needing to learn some code to get the most from AnyLogic simulation modeling. The fact is, a little upfront learning makes model development faster and simpler in the long run. But, if you are new to the software, how to get this training?

AnyLogic 8.3 brought with it the Material Handling Library and, to teach you how to work with it, we launched a series of feature articles on the blog. They describe, with examples from real production, the main functions of the library and its components.

Following part 1, which focused on conveyors, this blog is about other ways to move goods — transporters. These include forklifts, as well as robotic and mechanical carts — automated guided vehicles (AGV).

Use GIS mapping and routing data when offline. Here is a how-to that shows how simulation models can run standalone and work when internet access is restricted, slow, or not possible at all. All the data needed can be downloaded and stored for AnyLogic to access offline.

This video demonstrates how to download GIS data for your simulation, including how to avoid large file sizes. The video also details file storage and how AnyLogic is configured to work with offline GIS data. Watch the video...

To go with the release of the Material Handling Library we prepared a set of training models. They demonstrate the main features of the library through the use of example conveyor systems. These systems are often found in production facilities and in warehouses – they transport parts between workstations, sort finished products and deliver them to storage areas.

Here, in the first of a series of blogs, I examine the training models and elements of the new library.
