AnyLogic

Kommentare: An incredibly powerful tool that allows decision makers to judge the impact of changes on systems and enable them to make faster, better decisions and predictions. Traditional support tools cannot adequately consider complexities, constraints, dynamic interdependencies and variability to support decision-making within such a complex environment.

Vorteile: The incredible flexibility!
With AnyLogic's multi simulation paradigm framework a user can implement system dynamics, process-centric modeling (Discrete event) as well as agent-based modeling techniques all in one model AnyLogic is unbelievably flexible and with Java as a backend, there is nothing you can not do.
AnyLogic is also at the forefront of new development in the simulation space. Always reinventing their product and offering and leading the simulation world into new technologies like cloud based simulations .

Nachteile: Like anything worth doing it requires some effort to master the basics of the software. But with excellent technical support and great examples and training amterial this can be overcome quite easily.

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.

Kommentare: Fantastic. I create models solving problems in healthcare, primarily focused on healthcare policy questions.

Vorteile: Many features, scalable, many libraries, and great learning resources and online community. AnyLogic can simulate projects across many industries, and those with advanced programming skills will find this software very adaptable to a variety of problems. Even those of us with intermediate coding skills can tackle challenging problems with credible results. The company is very responsive to questions, and allows their software to be used in research and publication - important for graduate students. The system requirements are not onerous, at least for most models you can build with PLE.

Nachteile: A user will need to invest time into learning this software - and you will need to learn some Java. Fortunately, there are many online resources freely available.

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.

Kommentare: Perfect learning tool

Vorteile: Flexibility to simulate any real-world scenario with available tools and free personal learning edition with a lot of examples to learn from

Nachteile: 1. Huge visual memory overhead at times and cost prediction for university researcher edition and professional edition is missing at least PLE users should have access to direct upgrade cost.
2. An inbuilt notification window for all news rather than emails
