If I wanted to convey through a network, I had to write the routing to convey from A to B, then B to C and so on. In 8.2 conveyors had no acceleration or deceleration and no intelligent routing. The new conveyors are so comprehensive, we will only touch on a couple of their features here. If you remember the Conveyor block from 8.2, it was pretty basic. The Material Handling Library currently has 2 main features: conveyors and line-guided transporters (e.g., automated guided vehicles or AGV’s). 2 - Material Handling LibraryĪ major component of 8.3 is the material handling library. So far so good on the implementation side of things, and the animation simply looks more modern than the old Swing version. However, when you export a model to a Java application, the export folder that gets generated includes everything your client will need, including the Chromium web browser. Our model template is now completely on 8.3.Īnother issue I was concerned with was how we distribute these models to our clients. The other related to how I manipulated the tool bar programmatically. One was easily resolved by changing a cast from (Experiment) to (ExperimentHost). The upgrade from 8.2 to 8.3 was fairly smooth.įigure 1- AnyLogic with HTML5 Animation Window This includes our key animation components. At MOSIMTEC we have a model template with components we use on every project. The thought of taking out the old Java Swing and completely replacing it with HTML5 seemed like such a major change that surely it was going to break my old models. Let’s break each of these down separately. There are also several other nice-to-have features that are going to make modeling just that much easier!.A significant conveyor and transporter library will change the way I model.A new animation engine will change the look & feel of the models my clients receive from now on.Why do I consider this a “major” release? Here it is: AnyLogic 8.3 – A Major Minor ReleaseĪnyLogic has released a fairly major release, though hidden in a minor release number. We thought it was useful insight for people who model with AnyLogic and asked if she would blog about it. It details some of the useful changes beyond the headline updates in AnyLogic 8.3. Amy Greer of MOSIMTEC began an interesting thread on our LinkedIn group.
