AnyLogic 8.8-8.8.1
Java 11
In this release AnyLogic switched to Java 11 which made the coding process easier, including:
- Creation of collections.
- Converting a collection to an array.
- Read and write Strings from files, etc.
Transition to Java 11 also brought new String methods and advanced Java functions for Optional and Stream.
FIFO & LIFO rack types, task preemption, and new diameter property
This new release has enabled the Storage markup element to support FIFO (first in, first out) and LIFO (last in, first out) rack types. As a result, selective, drive-in, gravity, and push-back shelving can be modeled. In addition, the loading and unloading locations can be switched from one side to the other. Finally, it is also now possible to use pre-reservation made by setReservation() method in Storage block.
Task preemption properties have been added to the Station markup element meaning that another task with a higher priority can seize resources that are serving the station and vice versa.
The Turn station and Turntable conveyor elements now include the Diameter property giving the ability to change the diameter of these elements from properties, not only by using a handle.
