AnyLogic model time only from 06:00-22:00

is there a way that my model runs only for 16 hours a day instead of 24 hours? My goal is to skip the time between 22:00 and 06:00.

I tried to change the model times properties -> nothing found to change

Another idea is that an event occurs every evening and changes the model time to the next morning, but I could not find a function to change the model time :(

Solution

  • You cannot simply exclude some time. You can:

    • fast forward through time at 10pm (but model events will still be simulated if you have them --> your responsibility to not have anything happen)
    • switch to your own time mode where you convert time() steps into your frame of reference (i.e. your model is in HOUR time units and after the first 22 hours, you assume implicitly that the next hour would be 6am again)
    • just model 16 hrs in 1 model run but re-run that several times via a (freerun) parameter-variation experiment (where each run is a new day) and you accumulate results via the experiment
