6. New Enterprise Library objects: SelectOutput5 for routing the incoming entities to one of the five output ports depending on (probabilistic or deterministic) conditions, and a pair of objects (TimeMeasureStart and TimeMeasureEnd) for measuring time the entities spend between them, such as "time in system", "length of stay", etc.
7. Graphical shapes now support materials (textures) alternatively to solid strokes and fills.
8."Add labels" command added to Slider properties. This command creates text labels near the slider displaying its Min, Max and current Value.
6.4.1 [see also illustrated AnyLogic 6.4.1 New Features Guide]
Key features:
1. New University Edition of AnyLogic created for Educational and University Research users
2. Added converter from Vensim® models (see "File | Import" menu)
3. Controls have been moved from Presentation to a new Controls palette
4. New functions are available in the expressions of dynamic variables: delay1, delay3, delayInformation, delayMaterial, forecast, npv, npve, pulse, pulseTrain, ramp, smooth, smooth3, step, trend
5. Utilities sample model: added TimeMeasureStart and TimeMeasureEnd objects that collect statistics on time the entities spend between two points in the flowchart
Enterprise Library:
6. Added Assembler object (assembles entities from 5 sources)
Network object: added method transferResourceUnit that enables transferring a network resource unit between entities
Source object: added count() method
NetworkStorage: added parameter drawMode to control at what position entities are drawn inside cells
Service object: now in onEnterDelay dynamic parameter you can access 3 more values: int quantity, ResourcePool pool, double delayTime
Optimized Network initialization for speed so that construction of large networks takes less time
Optimized Network internal structures for memory so that models with large networks have significantly smaller memory footprint
Seize, Release, Service, and Assembler objects now accept "0" as resource quantity; in this case the resource pool object is not needed and immediate "availability" is assumed
6.4 [see also illustrated AnyLogic 6.4 New Features Guide]
1. When creating a new AnyLogic model, you can now use one of AnyLogic model templates. This will reduce the routine steps one usually makes when starting from scratch.
2. The new Rail Yard Library allows you to efficiently model, simulate and visualize rail yard operations of any complexity and scale. The rail yard models can easily work with process models.
3. The Pedestrian Library now supports the pedestrian group behavior.
4. The running performance of Pedestrian dynamics models, especially ones with complex wall configurations, has been significantly improved.
5. Now libraries developed in AnyLogic Professional edition can be plugged in and used in AnyLogic Advanced. This makes packaged model components available to a broader audience.
6. AnyLogic palettes have been reorganized to provide more structured access to the modeling language elements. You can also easily control the set of visible palettes.
7. A new palette with frequently used pictures in AnyLogic scalable vector graphic format has been added. Now you do not have to draw a person, a car, or a house from scratch every time.
8. A new object “View Area” has been added to simplify navigation within large diagrams as well as in hierarchical models both in design time and run time.
9. A group of shapes in the graphical editor now behaves as a single shape when selected. It is much easier now to move, resize, and rotate groups.
10. A shape in the graphical editor can now be locked, which prevents it from being selected. This is important for e.g. large background shapes or images.
11. You can now edit the control points of curves for more accurate curve shape adjustment.
12. It is now a lot easier to plot variable and expression values in time charts, XY charts, time stack and time color charts: you do not have to use datasets as intermediate elements.
13. AnyLogic now explicitly supports linking of a slider, an edit box, a radio button, etc., to a variable or a parameter. You do not need to write the action code, or validate the user input.
14. An easy-to-use table editor has been added for defining the initial values of system dynamics array-type stocks, constants, and parameters.
15. AnyLogic parameters can now be of system dynamics array type.
16. The chart of the table function has been added to its properties. It is synchronized with the argument-value table and shows the chosen interpolation and extrapolation.
17. Several new example models have been added.
18. The users will now be able to vote for most desirable new features and improvements in future AnyLogic versions directly from the modeling environment.
