What are your experiences with Action Charts and Functions? How do you decide which to use?Īlso, I am planning to write more technical posts on AnyLogic. Also, avoid Action Charts when building models with versioning software! (short for red light running camera 1) is a type of traffic enforcement. However, for very simple and very long algorithms, revert to Functions. increase the length of time) parameter controls can increase interval for. They are visual, helping you and clients understand what is happening. Verdict: Action Charts are extremely useful and should be used a lot. Sometimes it’s enough to just move their location a little. I have found Action Charts very useful but you need to beware of a significant short-coming: If you develop your model with other developers using versioning tools and merging (SVN, GIT…), Action Charts d o not behave well and mess up your merges easily. Here, you’d end up with one long Action Chart which is useless. In my experience, there is a limit to Action Charts displaying complex algorithms, though: if it becomes so large as to span several screens and you need to scroll a lot to even follow what is going on, it is better to return to Functions instead:Īnother good use of Functions over Action Charts is if your algorithm is just a linear set of operations without loops or nesting. Also use them for complex algorithms with many nested loops. a vehicle type for a path or a location for a customer). Min Load ratio from 0.1 to 0.7 with Step of 0.1 ).
Use Action Charts for critical algorithms of medium complexity that need to be explained to clients or colleagues. Variation sets the parameter variation method: Number Range is used to vary numeric values (e.g. To specify the configuration of the PID controller in your system, use the following parameters of the autotuner block: Type.It will be easier to read them, take less time to build and save valuable screen space Use the Function for very short algorithms (1-6 lines) that do a simple thing and have no nested loops.
This can helpful in understanding *quickly* what is going on.
#Anylogic parameter time type code#
On the other hand, a Function requires far less space and displays the code straight away (no need to click through the different Action Chart blocks one after the next). They can follow the “code” themselves (even when not used to programming) and discuss it with you
