Interview Questions
What is AnyLogic Scripting and why is it used?
How do you implement custom agent behaviors using scripting?
Explain integration of AnyLogic models with external data sources.
How do you optimize large-scale simulations for performance?
Compare scripting in AnyLogic to using only visual blocks.
Cheat Sheet
agent.setVariable(value) - update agent attribute
event.execute() - trigger event manually
state.enter() / state.exit() - change statechart states
getAgentPopulation() - access agents dynamically
runExperiment(params) - automate simulation runs
