Versatility of simulation – three projects and a video
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.

Analyzing electricity smart grids and markets with simulation
Energy markets are changing. They are now open to competition, households regularly generate electricity, and a necessity for more environmentally friendly modes of transport means electric vehicles are placing new demands on electricity grids. While these changes take place, electricity delivery must remain stable and affordable. Sjors Hijgenaar proposes a radical response to these developments — decentralized smart grids and direct local trade. As part of his analysis, he...

Early insight into Coronavirus spread in China
Our AnyLogic partners in China obtained a paper relating to COVID-19 and permission to publish a translation. Writing this now, there is obviously a lot of interest surrounding the spread of the COVID-19, the coronavirus disease. The paper studies the prevalence of infection in a population using agent-based simulation and looks at the importance of factors such as the frequency of close contact among a population.
