public class Agent
extends Utilities
implements com.anylogic.engine.internal.Child, IMaintenanceable
This is a base class for all agent classes created by the user. Agent is the main building block of AnyLogic models; it can have parameters, variables, ports, events, statecharts and embedded agents and/or agent populations. Agent is the unit of dynamic creation of destruction.
Agent may dynamically obtain extensions (which will increase memory footprint of agent), see ext(Class)

_ARRIVAL_message_xjal

@AnyLogicInternalCodegenAPI
public static final Object _ARRIVAL_message_xjal
This variable shouldn't be accessed by user: it is used internally by AnyLogic and may be renamed/removed in future

Constructor Details

Agent

public Agent(Engine engine,
 Agent owner,
 AgentList<?> ownerPopulation)
Constructs the agent, sets up its owner and list (if replicated). Should not create any embedded objects: parameters must be set by the owner after construction and only then create() should be called.
Parameters:
engine - the simulation engine
owner - owner agent that encapsulates this one, or null if this is root
ownerPopulation - collection of agent populations where this object belongs to or null if not replicated

Agent

public Agent()
Create constructor.
This is a way for e.g. simple creation of entities. Note that object is created BUT parameters are not set and its structure is neither created nor started. To set default values of parameters please call setParametersToDefaultValues(), and to create structure and start please either call createAndStart(Agent) or goToPopulation(AgentList) note that these 2 functions will call setParametersToDefaultValues() if it hasn't yet been called or if the agent has been created using other constructor (with parameters or with Engine-Agent-Population). Note that these functions are automatically called by AnyLogic libraries, therefore you don't need to call them for entities.
All the agents in the running model should have owner either in the form of population (replicated agent collection or default population of top-level agent - may be accessed through a special extension automatically placed in the top-level agent of the model) or in the form of direct link (only for agents embedded in the AnyLogic IDE).
The only agent in the model having null owner is top-level agent.

Specified by:
getExperimentHost in class Presentable
Returns:
the experiment host object of the model

getName

public final String getName()
Returns the name of this agent, i.e. the name of its instance in the owner object, with the index in square brackets for replicated objects. For the top-level agent returns "root". For default population, the population name is "<population>".
Returns:
the short name of the object not including path from root

getFullName

public final String getFullName()
Returns the name of the agent prefixed by the path from the top-level agent to this one.
Returns:
the full name of the object including path from root

error

public RuntimeException error(Throwable cause,
 String errorText)
Description copied from class: Utilities
Signals an error during the model run by throwing a RuntimeException with errorText preceded by the agent full name.
Specified by:
error in class Utilities
Parameters:
cause - the cause (which will be saved for more detailed message), may be null
errorText - the text describing the error that will be displayed.
Returns:
actually this method never returns, it throws runtime exception by itself.
But the return type is defined for some cases when you would like to use the following form of call: throw error("my message");

errorInModel

public RuntimeException errorInModel(Throwable cause,
 String errorText)
Description copied from class: Utilities
Signals an model logic error during the model run by throwing a ModelException with errorText preceded by the agent full name.
This method differs from error() in the way of displaying error message: model logic errors are 'softer' than other errors, they use to happen in the models and signal the modeler that model might need some parameters adjustments. Examples are 'entity was unable to leave flowchart block because subsequent block was busy', 'insufficient capacity of pallet rack' etc.
Specified by:
errorInModel in class Utilities
Parameters:
cause - the cause (which will be saved for more detailed message), may be null
errorText - the text describing the error that will be displayed.
Returns:
actually this method never returns, it throws runtime exception by itself.
But the return type is defined for some cases when you would like to use the following form of call: throw errorInModel("my message");

warning

public void warning(String warningText)
Description copied from class: Utilities
Signals a warning during the model run with warningText preceded by the agent full name.
Warnings may be turned off in the AnyLogic preferences (runtime section) or by API: AnyLogicRuntimePreferences.setEnableWarnings(Boolean).
This method checks against numerous warnings output:
  • In case of multiple warnings having equal warningText, only the first 10 of them are displayed.
  • When more than 1000 warnings having different warningText occur, all the subsequent warnings (including new occurrences of those in the first 1000) will stop displaying.
  • Be careful with using dynamically changing warningText (e.g. listing names of agents), it could be better to use Utilities.warning(String, Object...).
Specified by:
warning in class Utilities
Parameters:
warningText - the text describing the warning that will be displayed.

warning

public void warning(String warningTextFormat,
 Object... args)
Description copied from class: Utilities
Signals a warning during the model run with warningText preceded by the agent full name. The method allows warning format syntax like in String.format(String, Object...) method.
Warnings may be turned off in the AnyLogic preferences (runtime section) or by API: AnyLogicRuntimePreferences.setEnableWarnings(Boolean).
This method checks against numerous warnings output:
  • In case of multiple warnings having equal warningTextFormat, only the first 10 of them are displayed.
  • It is safe to raise numerous warnings with equal format string (which defines the warning type) but varying args - AnyLogic will take care to display only 10 first warnings of each warning type.
  • When more than 1000 warnings having different warningTextFormat occur, all the subsequent warnings (including new occurrences of those in the first 1000) will stop displaying.
  • Don't use dynamically changing warningTextFormat (e.g. listing names of agents), use args instead.
Specified by:
warning in class Utilities

See Also:
onCreate()

onCreate

@AnyLogicInternalCodegenAPI
public void onCreate()

stopSimulation

public boolean stopSimulation()
Engine command applicable only in any non-IDLE state (in IDLE state does nothing and returns false). If the state is RUNNING, sets a flag that, when tested by the model execution thread, causes it to terminate. Further behavior depends on context where this method is called:
  • When this method is called from the model execution thread, or from control action code, or from on-click code of a shape, it returns true immediately, leaving the model in PLEASE_WAIT state. Model is stopped and destroyed some time later (After Simulation Run code of an experiment or On Destroy code of top-level agent may be used to handle this moment)
    It is more recommended to use finishSimulation() method in such situations
  • When this method is called from other locations (e.g. user-defined concurrent thread), it waits for the model execution thread to terminate and then destroys the model (calls root.onDestroy()) and forgets it. Then puts the engine into IDLE state and returns true.
See Also:
Engine.stop()

finishSimulation

public boolean finishSimulation()
Engine command applicable only in RUNNING or PAUSED state (in other states does nothing and returns false). Sets a flag that, when tested by the engine, causes it to finish after completing the current event execution. Further behavior depends on context where this method is called:
  • When this method is called from the model execution thread, control action code, or from on-click code of a shape, it returns true immediately. Model is finished just after current event execution (After Simulation Run code of an experiment may be used to handle this moment)
  • When this method is called from other locations (e.g. user-defined concurrent thread), it waits for the model execution thread to terminate and returns true.
Note that by the time this method finishes, the engine may be in FINISHED, or ERROR state.
Returns:
false if the engine state does not allow pausing
See Also:
Engine.finish()

pauseSimulation

public boolean pauseSimulation()
Engine command applicable only in RUNNING state (in other states does nothing and returns false). Puts the engine into PLEASE_WAIT state and then sets a flag that, when tested by the engine, causes it to pause after completing the current event execution. Further behavior depends on context where this method is called:
  • When this method is called from the model execution thread, from control action code, or from on-click code of a shape, it returns true immediately. Model is finished just after current event execution
  • When this method is called from other locations (e.g. user-defined concurrent thread), it waits for the model execution thread to terminate and returns true.
Note that by the time this method finishes, the engine may be in PAUSED, FINISHED, or ERROR state.
Returns:
false if the engine state does not allow pausing
See Also:
Engine.pause()

runSimulation

public boolean runSimulation()
Engine command applicable only in PAUSED state (in other states does nothing and returns false). Puts the engine into RUNNING state and then starts the model execution in a separate thread. The execution may discontinue due to the one of the following reasons
- there are no more events to execute (state -> FINISHED)
- stopTime is reached (state -> FINISHED)
- pause() was called (state -> PAUSED)
- top-level agent has been destroyed (state -> FINISHED)
- exception occurred during event execution or agent destruction (state -> ERROR)
This method should never be called from the model execution thread!
Please note that by the time this method finishes, then engine may already be in PAUSED, FINISHED, or ERROR state.
Returns:
false if the engine state does not allow running
See Also:
Engine.run()
