But AnyLogic provides Agents, that are basically predefined classes with several built-in functionalities to work with entities in a simulation model. A beginner user will always use agents because with them it is very easy to define everything graphically. But sometimes […]
On this challenge I will show two little tricks and things you should think about when you are developing an agent based or hybrid model. In this particular case, we want to initialize 100 agents depending on the state of the other 99. Of course there may be other ways to develop the same model, but I[…]

There are features in AnyLogic that require the simulation model to be on runtime mode in order to work and will not be available in the simulation experiment configuration[…]
Before I start, don’t expect me to explain all these methodologies in detail since there is already a lot of material on the web that can help you. Wikipedia is good starting point with the following links if you are interested in the technical details: System Dynamics Discrete Events Agent-Based In business, industrial and socio-economic settings, System[…]
