How to run the model on AnyLogic Cloud
AnyLogic
is integrated with AnyLogic Cloud - a web portal that
hosts simulation models and allows you to run your models online and
share them with other users.
AnyLogic
models hosted at AnyLogic Cloud run on a server and do not require AnyLogic to
be installed on the end user's computer. The execution process is visualized in
a web browser.
To get a
full experience with AnyLogic Cloud, you need to create an account.
1. Open the Anylogic cloud sign up page by doing either of the following:
o Navigate to
Anylogic Cloud website https://cloud.anylogic.com/.
o Click
the 
button in the toolbar to open the Log in to AnyLogic Cloud dialog
box. Click the Sign Up... link.
o If you have
the Export
Model To AnyLogic Cloud wizard open, you can click the register new account link in the
wizard window.
2. Provide your e-mail address. Note that a valid e-mail
address is required.
3. Type and confirm your password in the Password and Confirm
password fields respectively.
4. Click the Sign up button.
5. AnyLogic will send a confirmation e-mail to the
address that you provided. Click the link contained in the e-mail to verify
your account and finalize the sign up process.
Once this process is complete, open the log in page in
your browser. After providing your account credentials, click the Log In button.
Once you are logged in, click on the url shown below
and you will then be transferred to the experiment screen, where you can run
the model.:
In the experiment screen, you can run experiments in
AnyLogic Cloud and view the results
1. The experiment toolbar provides a set of buttons
through which the basic tasks can be performed.
2. In the sidebar,
the existing model versions and experiments for each model version are created
and listed. Selecting an experiment in the sidebar, opens the experiment
screen.
3. The experiment
dashboard displays the parameters and the results of the experiment.
Inputs: Lists the model parameters and allows editing their
values.
Outputs: Presents the model version’s results, after an experiment has been run. If
the experiment has not been run yet, the section appears blurry.
Sidebar: It is displayed on the left hand side of the screen. On the upper level,
the model version is listed. On the lower level, the additional experiments created
for the each version are listed.
To show/hide the
sidebar: Click the 
button in the top-left
corner of the experiment screen.
To expand or
collapse the list of experiments for the model version: Click the model version node in the sidebar.
Running the Experiment
To run the
experiment
Click the 
Run button
in the experiment toolbar or the run link in the Outputs section
of the experiment dashboard.
Note: Since experiments are executed on a remote server,
you do not need to stay on the experiment page until the experiment is
finished. You can freely leave the experiment page (for example, to run another
experiment) and return to it at a later point.
The experiment execution progress is visualized via the progress bar in
the Outputs section and via the circular indicator next to the
experiment's name in the sidebar.
To modify the experiment's default input values
In the Inputs section of the
experiment, provide the input values. The 
Save inputs button
on the experiment toolbar will become active.
Click the Save inputs button.
The input values will be saved and used as the new default values for the
experiment.
If the input values that you have provided differ from the experiment's default
values, you can discard the changes thus reverting the input values to their
default state.
To discard changes in the
experiment's input values
Click the 
Discard changes button.
The input values will be reverted to their default state.
To create a new experiment
Click the 
button in the model version node. The New
experiment dialog box opens:
Type the name of the experiment in the Experiment Name entry and select the simulation Experiment Type. Then click
the Add button.
