The Release TimelineAnyLogic has been under constant

development, with improving features and UI, attentive to customer feedback; all

combining to make it the segment leader in simulation software.


AnyLogic: the multi-method simulation tool

System Dynamics

The Simulation software market is fragmented

• Traditional tools are designed to support one particular modeling approach

System dynamics

Discrete event modeling

Agent based modeling

Dynamicsystems

AnyLogic is not clustered into any single segment like many of these

AnyLogic Help is extensive & effective

Help system supports search

mechanism

Help also includes:• Self-paced tutorials, • FAQ, • Reference Guides on AnyLogic Libraries (Enterprise, Pedestrian, Rail) • Java Documentation on all AnyLogic classes and functions


AnyLogic Support: expert & unlimited!

• Use the built-in Get Support feature

This is modeling support – not just technical support. You can ask “how should I model this

thing” and improve your modeling knowledge, not just debug problems.


AnyLogic competitive advantages

• Develop all kinds of models with one tool– The only multi-method simulation tool. Develop agent-based,

system dynamics, discrete-event models, or any combination, with one tool

– Flexibility (no workarounds, choose the appropriate level of abstraction, connect to Excel, DB, ERP, CRM, use Java)

– Develop and run on Windows, Mac, Linux: AnyLogic is cross-platform, based on industry-standard Eclipse

• Reduce model development cost and time– Fast high-level development without sacrificing scalability and

extensibility– Reusability through fully object oriented structure and libraries

• Also: visual impact of your models + superb support


Main application areas

• Logistics, Supply Chain, Transportation

• Manufacturing

• Business Processes

• Healthcare

• Market and Competition

• Security and Defense

• Project and Asset management

• Social and Ecosystem Dynamics

• Pedestrian dynamics


Survey results (summer 2009)

• Flexibility, multi-method and agent based modeling are our strongest points of interest– Customers also like ability to use Java and Eclipse platform

• The learning curve is the biggest issue to address– Also: need more documentation and tutorials

• Satisfied customers outweigh dissatisfied by 9:1– This is among survey responders, probably higher in the

whole population

• Customers like our support a lot– More than 50% extend maintenance beyond the 1st year– Also value the frequent updates and continuous improvement


What is special about AnyLogic?

• A unique simulation modeling tool– Combines all the major modeling disciplines in use today in a

single high-level application– Massively scalable yet efficient and easy to use– Suitable for both simple proof-of-concept modeling as well as

large-scale solution models

• What is the “any”?– Any Simulation method (DES, SDS, ABM, or Hybrid)– Any Operating system (Windows, Mac, Linux)– Any User (Advanced Programmer, Drag/Dropper, Applet

user)– Any Industry or application– Any questions?
