Can you recommend an (open/freemium) tool for (3D) modelling and animating a warehouse or a port?
I started with some excel analysis, and now a detailed agent-based modelling with a Java tool. Any tools to visualize (and animate) the physical layout??
- cinntaile 5y agoThis sounds interesting, out of curiosity... What is it that you're trying to do?
- algo_trader 5y agoJust a toy model for improving electrification of heavy transport. Higher utilization and careful scheduling brings down capex and opex. Looks feasible. But i am not an electrical or production engineer.
- wheelinsupial 5y agoAnyLogic has a personal learning edition you might be able to use depending on your use case. I had a prof for a course on probabilistic methods in operations research whose work flow was to use Python for the modeling and simulation work, and then they would use AnyLogic to simplify the analysis and present a 3D overview of the process.
- algo_trader 5y agoI played with AnyLogic and its fantastic But AFAIK, it is not a full CAD program. But looking again at this demo [1], I realize you can go a long long way with it. [1] https://youtu.be/Snx1R42JnBE?t=95 https://youtu.be/Snx1R42JnBE?t=95
- wheelinsupial 5y agoIt's a simulation software that allows you to animate the systems you are modeling, so you're right that it isn't a CAD program.
