I could not find a way to generate a process mining suitable XES-event log based on an AnyLogic simulation of a process. If anyone knows if this is possible and how to do it, I would much appreciate it (very new to AnyLogic so it might just be user error).
Thank you

I need to simulate a fully functional AS/RS in warehousing. Moreover, I am a complete beginner in this field. Can some please let me know if I could get readymade simulation file? Or if not, please let me know how to learn to do it.
I have checked out the Anylogic website and it's tutorials (They are too lengthy).
fortunately for you, i have developed an AS/RS example that is a ready-made downloadable model for you, available at https://cloud.anylogic.com/model/1f5c7d1f-8782-40ac-957d-d3ba97bf6bf0?mode=SETTINGS
In general, when you want a model example, the first thing you should do is check the anylogic cloud, and if you are lucky the model is downloadable. Unfortunately, most people don't share
It really depends on what type of ASRS you are modeling (shuttle versus unit load) and level of detail you need. Do you need specific slotting and inventory tracking, or simplier black box delays with the assumption inventory is always available? The level of detail you need depends on questions you are asking, and should be addressed prior to starting development. If results from the model are critical and urgent, and you need anything more than simple black box delays, you should consider outsourcing to an experienced professional until you can get your AnyLogic skills up to speed.
i'm new to AnyLogic and i started using it for a restaurant operations simulation. Right now i've figured out how to use the pedestrian library to simulate customers coming into my restaurant and go to attractors placed around the dining tables and make them stop there for a period of time. However, i need help assigning a few waiters who go to each of the customers at least once after they have "sat down at their seats" (or simply means reaching and stopping at the attractors). i cannot figure out whether i can keep using pedestrian library or i have to use another library like a process handling library or create new agents as i am not familiar with the software. any help is much appreciated!
attached below are screenshots of the model and the blocks i currently have done:

I assume there are a lot of ways to do this... Normally you would use waiters as resources, but I think you can't make resources behave like pedestrians if you mix it with the Process Modeling Library... If you can do it smoothly maybe someone will answer it
What you can do is something like this:
On this model you have a separate flow for the waiters, who are your resources and you have to use some JAVA to seize the waiters for a particular table and allow them to do something... do what? I don't know, that depends on your model.
This is just a guideline for one possible solution but there are a lot of implications on how to actually implement it correctly.
Is there a way to manually schedule the events in AnyLogic? or does the order of creating the model plays a role in that?.
I am creating a complex system which currently not behaving in the same order I am expecting. I looked at AnyLogic help and Stuart Rossiter explanation but, I was not able to draw answers for these two questions.
My approach to the problem is to use FIFO in the experiment with a statechart that is knotted with guards for each state (true if related are all complete ). And I was thinking to use a manually programmed time parameter for the whole model to order the events exactly as I want. I am not sure that this is the right approach or if I will work. Please guide me on that matter.
Thanks InAdvance;
These are my answers:
Yes, there is a way to control the events manually (synchronizing).
Its done by creating several events and ordering their
trigger/re-occurrence times similar to the simulated phenomena.
No, of you are using manual synchronizing, and I don't know about Asynchronous modeling
the approach mentioned in the question did not work :).
In my bachalar work I am supossed to build an model of terrorist attack in Tokyo in 1995 (sarin gas). I have never done heard anything about ABM until about a month ago. Now I am even able to do some simple models.
However I would welcome some ideas about how to even start with the model. I only need to model one train of 5 from the attack. Should I start with the environment, defining agents...? And is there anybody who could provide me kind of a support if I need to know something?
Also should I model everything with statecharts, or is It possible to model the train with Trail library using flowcharts and passengers with statecharts?
best idea is to check out the example models that come with AnyLogic (Menu/Help/Example Models).
Get a feeling for a good number and start pulling together techniques and items that were used to achieve similar things.
Otherwise, your questions are far too broad for StackOverFlow, I am afraid.
Best modelling advise in a nutshell: Start (super)simple and add features as you go along (and your skills increase)
I asked a similar question to Anylogic linkedin forum so sorry for multiple posting (possibly for some of you). I just heard about the Anylogic program. My purpose is not simulation I want to visualize a log file. I want to allow the admin-user (who will be the user of the Anylogic model) to enter some settings which will cause some filtering and I want to visualize the whole file with Anylogic.
The file is a communication file. Possibly I will show communication attendees and interactions using Anylogic. I want to emphasize unnormal patterns in the log using visual and interactive properties of Anylogic. There may also some need for like zooming in and out during the execution of the model.
Is it something very difficult to do? I am a Java developer. I can understand that I should have to learn Anylogic. What other skills and development and test environments (Ide etc.) do I need?
I plan to do a serial of implementations for several log file types and currently I am trying to find the best tool which will allow me to make changes in visualization part of the models easily till I find the best representation of the data.
There are some examples of Anylogic which are installed built-in but I couldn't see an example which suits my situation. I do not know where to start. If someone helps me to start the design I would be very happy :)
Thank you for your attention..
Edit:
I am attaching a sample stereoscopic view model and a sample view. I want to do something similar to this. Is it ok with AnyLogic?
Ferda
simple answer: yes its possible.
Some more comments:
I am currently working on a very similar project actually. For me as an experienced AnyLogic user, it is very natural and AnyLogic offers all the features you ask for.
Is it something very difficult to do?
That depends on how quickly you can learn AL. But if you are experienced with Java, it will not be too hard, I imagine.
What other skills and development and test environments (Ide etc.) do I need?
None, really. You need to figure out how to use the visual elements of AL. All of them can be changed statically via the AL IDE but you can always change them dynamically via Java code. That is very important to realize and play around with.
I am attaching a sample stereoscopic view model and a sample view. I want to do something similar to this. Is it ok with AnyLogic?
Yes, that can be done.
I suggest you try checking the example models that come with AL. If you find something that looks like what you need, try to figure out how they did it. Then try to recreate it in a simple example model for yourself.
