Hey guys.

Does JaamSim work with event-based simulation?

Thank you very much!

That is an odd question. JaamSim is a discrete event simulation software package. Did you mean something different by "event-based simulation"?

Harry, sorry for the incorrect question I asked.

I would like to ask the following:

I found.

JaamSim open-source simulation software
  • July 2013
  • Conference: Proceedings of the 2013 Grand Challenges on Modeling and Simulation Conference

    Abstract
    JaamSim is a free, open-source simulation package written in the Java programming language. It is a general-purpose dynamic simulator that supports discrete-event logic, continuous variables, and agent-based model design. A modern graphical user interface is provided that is comparable to commercial software, including drag-and-drop model building, an Input Editor, Output Viewer, and 3D graphics. Users are able to create their own palettes of high-level objects using standard Java and modern programming tools such as Eclipse. If you are writing hundreds or thousands of lines of code in a proprietary programming language provided with your commercial software, you would be far better off to write your code in Java and use JaamSim.

It seems so....

I am very happy to know that.

:)



Muito obrigado!

Cristiano,

JaamSim does not have the capability at present to perform typical agent-based simulations. However, this feature could be added by someone willing to do the programming.

Thank you very much Harry.

Good to know that this feature can be added by someone who is willing to do the programming.

Would this programming have to be in Java too?

I will study about it.
Depending on whether I would be interested in doing yes.

Yes, any programming would have to be in Java. Several new object classes would be required to implement agent based modelling. It would not be very difficult, but it is not something that we want to do ourselves.

Understand.

I will think about.

Thank you so much Harry!

Dear Harry, could you please elaborate a little bit on your reasons for not implementing ABM onto JaamSim? In the literature, there's reasonable support to the benefits of hybrid modelling, could you please share your thoughts on this topic?

Thank you!

We don't have any experience with agent based modelling and don't foresee any need for this capability in our own consulting work.

Harry
