Legacy connectivity tools

Since version 7.2, each AnyLogic model now has a built-in fully integrated database to read input data and write simulation output. Export the database with the model, it is as portable and cross-platform as the model itself.

With the new database, you can:

• Read parameter values and configure models
• Create parameterized agent populations,
• Generate entity arrivals in the process models,
• Import data from other databases or Excel spreadsheets and store it in the readily available form,
• Log flowchart activities, events, statechart transitions, message passing, and agent biographies,
• View resource utilization, waiting, processing, and travel times,
• Store and export statistics, datasets, and custom logs.

Before the implementation of the built-in model database, these tools allowed for interacting with external data sources.

To access a database, add a legacy Database element to your model and use it to establish a connection it with an actual database.

Also consider using other connectivity elements:

• Excel File — to read from and write to Excel files
• Text File —  to reading from and write to text files
