Simulation plays an important role in project management as it allows you to predict possible risks and reduce the impact of incorrect decisions on project implementation. In this blogpost, we will look at how different modeling methods could be applied to the problem of software development project management, but then focus on the agent-based approach and its advantages.
Automated guided vehicles are widely used in manufacturing and warehousing to move items around. A simple example model combines various AnyLogic libraries and modeling approaches to simulate the AGV charging process. Read through and don’t forget to open the model in AnyLogic software to follow along with the example.
There is a significant and growing wealth gap in almost every country throughout the world. There are many reasons for this growing inequality amongst the population, but can a combination of simulation and luck play a part in identifying how to stop this trend or even reverse it?
Healthcare simulation shows hospitals’ capacity and resource utilization, helps identify challenges, and leads to the right solutions based on the analysis of test results. Simulation modeling was frequently and successfully used during COVID-19 for evaluating disease spread and mass vaccination. Read in this blog post how simulation is used to accomplish healthcare-related tasks.
Those of you who are already familiar with simulation modeling certainly know that it can be used in supply chain or manufacturing. Nothing unusual there. However, its application is much wider than that. In this blog post, we give an overview of three different projects demonstrating the versatility of simulation. For technical details, watch the video.
Even though your business may not involve anything remotely related to farming or agriculture, we believe our modeling approach is useful for demonstrating how an interactive simulation model can be used to improve collaboration and decision making. Let’s examine a model where we used high-level aggregate data and focused on the interactions between different processes. NB: No animals have been harmed during these simulations.
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...
Upcoming features and functionality for AnyLogic 9 were previewed alongside AnyLogic 8.7 and AnyLogic Cloud developments at the online AnyLogic User Experience with MaxRad Software. AnyLogic 9 will be a major update and many new details were revealed during the session from The AnyLogic Company CEO, Andrei Borshchev, Principle Software Engineer, Nikolay Churkov, and Head of AnyLogic Cloud Development, Alexander Rakulenko. Here is the presentation recording with a follow-up...
