AnyLogic 9 Workshop cheat sheet - Pub with two beer brands - Step-by-step modeling guide

Oct 13, 2026

AnyLogic 9 workshop cheat sheet outlining an iterative build of a pub simulation with two beer brands. It defines the operational scenario: kegs by volume, bartender service and payment/drinking times, guest arrival rate, and a happiness probability after each pint. The model includes guest flow through entrance and exit, bartender serving behavior, beer-brand switching after repeated pints, and a rule that guests leave if no bartender is reached within five minutes. Instructions cover creating the model in AnyLogic Cloud, configuring parameters in minutes, running animated simulation up to 300 minutes (5 hours), and extending the model with the second beer.

FAQs

What is the core problem the workshop model solves?

It models a pub running with two beer brands and determines staffing needs so guests stay happy and don’t leave due to bartender delays.

How are guest arrivals and drink behavior represented?

Guests arrive at a specified rate, follow a pedestrian flow through entrance and exit, and after each pint leave with a stated probability of feeling happy.

What happens if a guest cannot reach a bartender in time?

If a guest cannot get hold of a bartender within five minutes, he leaves angry, which affects system performance.
