Anylogic Professional
Anylogic
Professional version is geared towards simulation professionals that want to
build web based simulations or websims as well as simulation applications
(Please note that applications now require runtime licenses). It
provides all the capabilities of the Advanced version and more. Some of the key
capabilities /features of the Anylogic Professional version are:
-
Export models as standalone Java applications (require
runtime licenses) or Java
applets
-
Integration with version control and team based
development
-
Graphically define decision logic
-
GIS (Geographic Information System) Integration
-
Develop custom libraries
-
Save and Restore model state/snapshot
-
Import DXF drawings
-
Advanced Experiments (Monte Carlo, Parameter variation,
Optimization, and Calibration)
-
Java level debugging
-
Pedestrian Library
-
Easy Integration with Databases, Excel, and Text Files
-
Support for PC, Mac, and Linux platforms
-
Additional GUI Elements

The capabilities provided by Anylogic Professional version are unmatched by
other simulation platforms. Anylogic 6 is based on the Eclipse platform and thus
leverages the latest technology platform for developing advanced models.
