Learn ANYLOGIC-SCRIPTING with Real Code Examples
Updated Nov 27, 2025
Architecture
Scripting is embedded in agent methods, events, and transitions
Uses Java Virtual Machine (JVM) for execution
Integrates with AnyLogic’s visual modeling engine
Supports object-oriented design with classes and inheritance
Scripts can access simulation time, agent hierarchy, and parameters
Rendering Model
Java scripts execute inside AnyLogic JVM
Agents and events update model state dynamically
Visual blocks and charts render simulation output
External data can influence simulation in real time
Statecharts and custom methods govern agent logic
