This tutorial will show you how to create discrete event models using AnyLogic Process Modeling Library and Material Handling Library. Our goal is to create a discrete-event model that will simulate a small job shop’s manufacturing and shipping processes. The raw materials that are delivered to the receiving dock are placed into storage until processing takes place at the CNC machine.
Complexity:
Modeling approach: discrete-event
Features: Process Modeling Library 3D resource storage custom agent type dynamic 3D animation
The tutorial is taken from the book “AnyLogic in Three Days” by Ilya Grigoryev.
- Phase 1. Creating a simple model to simulate the pallets’ arrival at the job shop and their storage at the shipping dock.
- Phase 2. Expanding the model by adding forklift trucks to store the pallets in the storage and then move them to the production area.
- Phase 3. Adding 3D animation.
- Phase 4.Adding trucks that deliver pallets to the job shop.
- Phase 5. Modeling CNC machines where the raw materials are processed.
Start the tutorial by following the link below to the document describing structure of the first phase.
