I am trying to model a production infrastructure in anylogic which consists of several agents. One of it is a "steam network" (system dynamics) which starts with a flow from nowhere. The dynamic value of this flow is supposed to be the steam output of another agent. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to link the flow to the steam production (dynamic variable) of my agent "machine".
I appreciate all your help.
The flow object allows you to set the flow to be anything (it is a Java field) so you can easily link it to your agent's variable as below:
The actual code depends on your model structure, i.e. how the steam agent is embedded relative to the myAgent feeding it with flow. In my example, "MyAgent" is simply embedded in the steam engine, but yours might vary. If that is the problem, check the Help's section Where am I and how do I get to...
To clarify the model navigation, take this example model I made:
It has 2 different agents embedded on main. "OtherAgent" has 1 variable v_DefiningFlowRate of type double, set to 12.
The second agent on Main "SysDynAgent" has a flow object that pulls the flow rate from "OtherAgent" by navigating to it correctly:
this is what you need to adapt to in your model
