AnyLogic

"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.

"Powerful Simulation Software"

Vorteile: AnyLogic is a simulation software that allows the user to combine multiple simulation methods inside one simulation. This is incredibly powerful and results in simulations that are complex, but accurately reflect reality. Their team regularly releases new features and listens to its user base to increase functionality where it is most useful.

Nachteile: The material handling library still needs to be more extensive than it currently is.

"Very good product"

Vorteile: Multi method simulation is one of most important feature. The software can be easily integrated with other software.

Nachteile: I think that it is a very good product for people that has a knowledge in Java language and programming. So the product can be used for its real power.

"Multiple and powerful capability does not mean complexity and difficulty"

Kommentare: I have tried using it to model service operations. Frankly, the experience has not gone smoothly.

Vorteile: It combines multiple libraries for modelling systems using low level, mid-level and high level simulation modelling techniques. It support the production of hybrid models. Suitable for modelling both manufacturing and service operations.

Nachteile: The Java codes. They make building models using Anylogic herculean and onerous. Incorporating java codes when building the smallest of models is frustrating. Training tutorials that explain how to use the software are near unavailable. The Help facility does not explain terms (functions, parameters, collections etc) clearly. Simply put, Anylogic is not for the basic user, neither is it user-friendly or suitable for non-programmers or users with minimal coding skills. It is difficult to learn or use. It is complex, arduous and laborious. Sometimes, some of the logic in some examples do not make sense.

"Simulating a real phenomenon becomes very simple with anylogic"

Kommentare: My experience was on a study project of a juice production area, I used AnyLogic in the entirety of my project, that is to say from the reception of the raw material until the distribution of final products , and also the use of the concept of GIS which helped us to better choose our distribution channels and the choice of means of transport.
The software is almost ideal to use to model and simulate a real phenomenon or rather imaginary, even what changes or what we can modified, AnyLogic help to make this decision

Vorteile: - The speed of response
- Multifunctionality: in several fields, for example in the field of transport and logistics, fluids ...
- Simplicity in modeling problems

Nachteile: There are gaps at the block level, and capacity of agents.
