Urban design projects presented as physical models usually look nice and detailed, but when implemented they may reveal unexpected problems. Even if such models match the actual layouts, some dynamic factors that may affect the design get left out. Using simulation, you can consider the dynamics, which gives you a more complete picture of the system's performance over time.

More runs, more users, and more model. More and more is demanded of simulation models as clients analyze greater numbers of scenarios, expand user access, and model in greater detail. How to scale and meet these demands?

PwC emerging technology senior manager Sindy Ma is an expert on scaling simulations. Her presentation at the AnyLogic Conference 2021 showed three real-world case studies of projects that met the challenge of scaling simulations for more scenarios, more users, and more model. Find out more...

A how-to video that shows how to easily import walls from a CAD drawing into an AnyLogic simulation model.

By following the video, you will learn how to quickly create wall elements in an AnyLogic model from a CAD file. This method particularly speeds up the creation of models for pedestrian simulations. Watch the video and learn more...

Emergency evacuation planning for mass gatherings is essential public safety and security work for authorities and can help save lives. Imran Mahmood and Muhammad Haris of the National University of Sciences and Technology, Pakistan, and Hessam Sarjoughian of Arizona State University, USA, have used an AnyLogic based crowd simulation and analysis framework to analyze emergency evacuation strategies for one of the world’s greatest mass gatherings: Hajj.

It is estimated that 1.5 million foreign football fans will visit the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia this July, with games taking place at 12 stadiums in cities from the Baltic to the Urals. How can their travel be managed smoothly?

A video full of AnyLogic tips and tricks to get the most from the simulation modeling software.

Benjamin Schumann shares his expertise in using AnyLogic to help users develop simulation models effectively and efficiently.

Just eighteen years from now, 7.8 billion passengers will be taking to the skies annually.

How best to increase passenger capacity at airports? Airport simulation is an important tool for testing, development, and operational management. Here we look at several real-world examples of simulation working for airports...

Get inside the model! In this post, we will look at the technical features of the example Border Checkpoint model: what it consists of, how it works, and what methods were used in its development.

Learn tips and tricks as you go through the model step by step with our expert...

New releases of AnyLogic come with new example models. These help newcomers understand simulations and experienced users to learn about AnyLogic’s advanced capabilities.

New to AnyLogic is our Border Checkpoint model. It is based on the same principles as classical queueing systems, such as those found in banks, shops, and medical centers.

In this post, we show how to model and analyze a variety of these business problems using the new border crossing model.

As airport security checkpoints become progressively rigorous, passengers experience longer wait times. Although passenger safety is most important, airports also work to minimize wait times at security check points to increase customer satisfaction.

Martin Jung, Axel B. Classen, and Florian Rudolph from the German Aerospace Center recently analyzed wait times and throughput at the security
