AnyLogic Erfahrungen

Gute Simulations- & Modellierungssoftware

Vorteile:

"Es eignet sich sehr gut für die Simulation von Industriemodellen und Lagerabläufen. Kann auch mit anderen Tools von Drittanbietern integriert werden. Sie stellen uns eine kostenlose Version zur Verfügung, was eine hervorragende Eigenschaft ist. Ich glaube, wir verwenden auch Java und Python.

Nachteile:

Es wäre sehr schön, wenn wir mehr Videos mit Anleitungen zur Verwendung dieser Software hätten.Die Benutzeroberfläche ist ein wenig hektisch. Es ist nicht benutzerfreundlich und muss vor der Verwendung gelernt werden. Bei großen Dateien verzögert sie sich und braucht mehr Zeit.

Anylogic is excellent for simulation

Kommentare: We are using AnyLogic to model our cross docks and yard operations. I love using this software for this purpose. The support for modeling "pedestrian" like congestion/etc on our docks and yards is amazing. I know of no other simulation modeling environment that does this.

Vorteile:

AnyLogic is an incredibly flexible platform for creating very sophisticated simulation models. I love it's integration with the Java programming language. Also, I like how they separate the visualization from the logic of the modeling.

Nachteile:

To do all that AnyLogic does, it is an extremely complicated modeling tool. It takes a while to learn.

My review of Anylogic

Kommentare: My overall experience with AnyLogic is quite very good, I continue learning and I have built some very good models with the software.

Vorteile:

Flexibility to combine more than one modelling method in one model, low code modelling, and ability to use Java for advanced modelling.

Nachteile:

Some of the descriptions of different objects or functions do not provide a clear explanation of the object.

Familiarity

Kommentare: Even when i need some time to fully understand this and that. After that its super comfortable. Also the tutorial is good too since we can use em as a template

Vorteile:

Simplicity and almost every object can be found

Nachteile:

Need time to understand some features. Some object might not be found

Versatile Simulation Power A good help for thesis

Vorteile:

One of he features of AnyLogic is its versatility. allowing me to tackle and try a wide range of complex problems with a single tool. This flexibility empowers to explore various modelling approaches and combine them as needed to accurately represent real-world systems. And the help that I got throughout the whole process from the AnyLogic team.

Nachteile:

One downside I found with AnyLogic is its initial learning curve. Since it's a powerful simulation tool , mastering its intricacies can take some time and dedication.

One of the best simulation tool in the market

Kommentare: Using AnyLogic science version 5.5. Providing classes for students, and also using in research projects.

Vorteile:

- flexibility (use of Java), provides a great opportunity to develop very complex models - huge amount of features to conduct different types of experiments - huge amount of samples + detailed tutorials - ability to mix in one model different simulation approaches

Nachteile:

- very slow, probably because of the user interface - not very user-friendly in terms of writing the code, autocompletion etc - 2D/3D object library could be more wider, also would be great to have a tool to create own 3D objects

Great software, but would like better documentation for newcomers

Kommentare: Very confused when I first started using it, but got the hang of it once I build enough models and read the documentation.

Vorteile:

I like the flexibility and ease of creating models.

Nachteile:

The documentation and learning materials are lacking, since each model has it's own needs. Also, the "learn in 3 days" is separate from the actual documentation, making it confusing how there are 2 official sources. For the Javascript, it's very unclear how much code needs to be written in the 'advanced java' like the import statement, as it differs from modules/interfaces/variables/functions.

A good product with an engaging learning curve

Kommentare: It was great to learn Anylogic and it helped me gain a better understanding of the agent modelling this semester

Vorteile:

I liked how anylogic handles the mechanics of simulation. It is very efficient for someone who needs to build a full fledged simulation system

Nachteile:

the coding editor features. It needs a lot of improvement for the code editor panels that has been given for custom code

Regarding its functioning

Kommentare: Overall it was good.I did my university projection about simulation model building and we formulate a model which was failed because the anylogic doesn't have advanced system to adopt that function so unfortunately we were compelled to change our whole model.

Vorteile:

The availability of every funtions and command.

Nachteile:

The error and some function doesnt accept.

a program with extensive support for students.

Kommentare: I think it is an excellent program that can be used in different professions, it helped me a lot.

Vorteile:

How intuitive the program is to be able to make the models.

Nachteile:

The fact that the program is not in Spanish makes it difficult to use.

Experience

Kommentare: I used the program during my university studies

Vorteile:

Design and the shapes of icons and Smooth supply

Nachteile:

Industrial engineering is cons to simulator the facility

My experience with Anylogic.

Kommentare: Overall experience with Anylogic is very good. I use it to model business systems and processes to collecting statistic or optimization.

Vorteile:

- Integrate all types of simulation modelling in one tool. For example you can create multi-agent model, where agent's behaviour contains inner system dynamic model. At same every agent can act in dynamical changing world, where environment based on discrete event modelling. - You can easy add your own program code lines to handle any event, that happens during modelling. For example you can send message on screen or send message to interact with other agent during events, such as arrive to destination point, take place in queue, leave queue, start processing on a device. - You can create your own blocks and use them to build models like with standard block. - You can create beautiful animated 3D presentation of your model. - There are a lot of free tutorials, video lectures, examples, books that can help you start build complicated beautiful models. There is well done documentation with good tips and advises. - You can every time ask support any question you want and they answer you in short.

Nachteile:

- New versions of Anylogic comes very often, sometimes its annoying to reinstall it. You can skip one update, but there can be some problems. - I notice that when you update Anylogic, your old models can stop working in new version of Anylogic, you had to fix syntax errors in models code. At same time modes, that you create in new version of Anylogic probably will not open in old version of Anylogic. Looks like developers not care about backward comparability when preparing updates. It can be real problems if Anylogic version is different on your home PC and on your PC at work. I hope developers will take my opinion in consideration and provide backward compatibility for next updates.

Anylogic Simulation Software Review

Kommentare: Overall it is a great piece of software, but you need knowledge of java and a good problem solving mind. It is incredibly powerful and flexible, but I would say can be beaten in specific applications where simulation software is built for just one or two purposes.

Vorteile:

Anylogic has great Flexibility, runs on java and a huge amount of functionality. It can present models in 2D or 3D with a decent library of graphs and outputs by default. It is very suitable for many different applications, and if you want, can essentially model anything you can think of (if you program it yourself). I've mostly used it in manufacturing, and its been able to do everything I've wanted it to do in the end. It's not always as easy as other software, but that's a trade off between functionality and usability.

Nachteile:

It can be tricky to start with certainly, and there are some elements that are much easier to do in other simulation software packages. That said, you can usually find a way of doing it in anylogic, although this takes longer and is trickier. It's not always easy to find the problem when something goes wrong. The software is essentially wrapped up Java, but this means it's not as easy to debug as a sheet of code. Code is fragmented between elements, which takes some getting used to. The UI is also very slow and unresponsive (even on powerful machines), there's a lot that could be improved here.

Anylogic for Industrial Use

Vorteile:

The resources, agents, pallette are quite useful for designing the model. The major attraction is the help section which explains the each and every block with example. The support team is quite helpful as they respond very quickly regarding any doubts. It is quite easy to use this software. In my case, I was able to integrate the software for simulation purpose for a project required in my complany.

Nachteile:

There are few features or bugs which I encountered while designing my model like it doesn't considers wall as an obstacle while designing the warehouse so I had to manage that. Other than that, it would be better if the computational speed is improved as it tends to slow when more than 2 models are open at a time. There were few tasks which I was unable to integrate with my business requirement initially, but thanks to support team of Anylogic they helped us to resolve it.

AnyLogic Review

Kommentare: Overall, it is a good product that I can recommend.

Vorteile:

A simulation software. It allows combining different simulation methodologies (system dynamics, discrete event, agent based) in the same model. Although the action chart has been enough for me so far, it may be critical for those in need.

Nachteile:

It does not have any problems, except that it has a complex interface.

Good product but need more free resources to learn from

Vorteile:

Anylogic is an incredibly useful tool for modeling and simulation. It provides a comprehensive platform for creating and analyzing complex systems, allowing users to visualize and understand the dynamics of their models. With its intuitive graphical user interface, Anylogic makes it easy to create and edit models, and its powerful simulation engine allows users to run simulations quickly and accurately. It also provides a wide range of analysis tools, allowing users to gain valuable insights into their models and make informed decisions. All in all, Anylogic is a very useful tool for anyone looking to create and analyze complex systems.

Nachteile:

however, there is a lack of resources available to learn how to use it. There are some tutorials and guides available, but they are limited and do not provide comprehensive coverage of the software. This can make it difficult for those who are new to Anylogic to get up and running quickly. Fortunately, there are a few online communities and forums that can provide assistance and guidance to those who are just starting out.

A Great software

Vorteile:

Anylogic is really a great software. The most important ability of the software is that this is a multi-method software which is very applicable for social science studies, since these studies face almost complicated systems as well as some problems and limitations with data and the combination of SD and ABM would be a very useful tool. Another important point is related the available tools in the software which increase the ability of modelers to consider more details in their models. Last but not least important point concerns the example models which are great guides.

Nachteile:

Although this is one of the best simulation software with GIS tools, it is required to expand and complete it in this regard. Also, for me the price is a little bit high for researches.

The best Customer Support ever

Kommentare: Customer Service- 15 out of 10 !!
User Interface- 8 out of 10
Upgrade options- 7 out of 10
Speed- 9 out of 10 Plus the availability of full package AnyLogistix, Simulation Suite, Full WMS

Vorteile:

Ever since the free trial, customer service representatives have been so engaging to help you out on any issue faced while navigating through the first steps. Everyday a phone call and an email for a help. This is really welcoming to the new software

Nachteile:

I used the free trial, I understand with the limited functionality but the free version is pretty slow compared to the full package.

The only one of its kind

Kommentare: The best in its class of multi-method tools and as good as any other tool when compared on a single feature basis. The customer support is amazing.

Vorteile:

AnyLogic is the only tool supporting all the different simulation techniques and even allowing you to combine them into hybrid models. The ability to expand the drag-drop modeling environment at any time with Java code is really cool. And the ability to export the model as a java applet that will play in any browser is also very cool -- now you can deliver your models to users who don't have sim software installed and would NEVER have it installed -- but they can still run the experiments you design. Customer support like you've never imagined! "Hey, my model doesn't work very well" is an acceptable request! They'll work on it, make it better, do things you never thought of, and send it back. All for free and as many times as you like!"

Nachteile:

The feature set is amazing -- in fact, so rich to be a little daunting. This makes the learning curve longer than most tools, not really steeper, aka harder, its just that there's a lot to learn. The documentation is a little dense and the grammar is stiff and formal. I wish there were a simpler, "how to build models the easy way" book as opposed to all this formality.

Great software for Game research simulation

Kommentare: Very happy, looking forward to maintaining our simulations and further research in the future

Vorteile:

Great diversity of tools allowed different game design applications for multiplayer games to be simulated

Nachteile:

Tricky learning curve and not sure how to best progress and implement simulations

Amazing and Versatile Software that fills everyone's needs

Vorteile:

AnyLogic is very appealing to me because of the ease of use. I have been using AnyLogic for the past half year now and it has been incredibly easy for me to do my work. I use AnyLogic for simulation modeling and I find the software very diverse and easily applicable to any business problem.

Nachteile:

The only drawback about AnyLogic I have is the decently high learning curve. AnyLogic takes a bit of time to learn to use to its maximum capacity but once you have an understanding, you can do virtually anything with the software.

The use of AnyLogic in discret-events modeling

Kommentare: It is being really positive as it also comes with some tutorials to learn how to use the different availables fields, such us pedestrian modeling or industry based discret models.

Vorteile:

It is a really intuitive software, furthermore, you can easily find online-help in its website if you have any trouble by understanding the use of any of their functionalities.Its use is really wide, and you can even have graphical representations, in charts or even 3D modeling.

Nachteile:

The fact that is programmed in Java sometimes makes it harder for me to understand how to code some lines, as I'm more used to use Python, but I understand that this is a personal opinion.

Using AnyLogic for a student research project

Kommentare: I am solving a research project question posed about pedestrianisation in Bristol and have found the software a great entry point to doing higher level traffic modelling.

Vorteile:

The user interface of the software was the first thing that drew me to it, along with the ease of use and lack of strong java programmaing requirements. It stood above the competition as it was the software that presented the information in the best way. I am impressed by the vast libraries the software has for different functionalities and the applications these have between themselves. Using the software for my research project has been a pleasure.

Nachteile:

I dislike the slow zoom function in the model window, when the model is running it can be laborious to locate the zoom in the control panel - especially when working with a larger scale model.

Perfect simulation software

Kommentare: I used the Anylogic in the various types of case studies, for examples, airline routing, transportation scheduling, logistics management

Vorteile:

Various types of applications can be modeled with the AnyLogic.

Nachteile:

Tutorials should be more basic and simple. The simple and basic examples of using the palettes should be added into the Help menu.

Great software, bad customer service

Kommentare: The possibility of combining the three main methods for modelling systems. The customer service, the way AnyLogic forces you to go trough various calls just to get a price for the license is horrendous. Just for that, I would be willing to recommend the software, please modofy your sales plan.
