4 years ago Is there a way to run AnyLogic simulation with a command from the PyCommunicator?
No, the purpose of Pypeline is to run Python from within a running AL model. Python is only able to communicate with your model while the model is running. Every time the model starts, a new, clean Python environment is created. Every time the model stops, the Python environment (including any imports or variables you created) is destroyed.
Think of it like a child process - much like you cannot run AnyLogic without your computer's operating system, you cannot use Pypeline to have Python run an AnyLogic model.
In short: it's AL that's creating the Python environment, not the other way around.
Is there a way to provide an arguments to the simulation from PyCommunicator?
Sort of. You can set parameters when the model starts up - like this.
However, this would need to query some 'live service' or Python code that read/modifies a file to get the next value. This is because every time you start a model, the Python environment is reset - nothing from the previous runs are stored.
Is there an option to observe the simulation results when ended from the PyCommunicator?
I don't understand what you're asking to do. Anytime you can call on the PyCommunicator object, you inherently also have access to your simulation model.
Hello,
Is there a way to run AnyLogic simulation with a command from the PyCommunicator? If yes - Is there a way to provide an arguments to the simulation from PyCommunicator?
Is there an option to observe the simulation results when ended from the PyCommunicator?
Thanks and Regards, Elad
