Industry libraries cover process modeling, fluids, rail, pedestrians, road traffic, and material handling. AnyLogic Cloud provides a web platform for running simulations, trying experiments, collaborating, and sharing models. Integration options include ERP, CRM, MRP, and BI systems, common file formats, SQL databases, and REST APIs. Developers can use a Java API, Python connections to machine-learning frameworks, and a Cloud API for automating runs and retrieving results. The product also lists GIS, CAD, NVIDIA Omniverse, and Git support. It is available for web and self-hosted deployment, including Private Cloud installation on a local network or company cloud. PLE is free at free, but limits model size and some library use; Professional and University Researcher prices are available by quote.

SimVenture offers business learning simulations and tools for developing business ideas. Its products are Classic, Evolution, and Validate. Participants in its simulations run a virtual company and make decisions across strategy, marketing, finance, operations, and team management. Evolution is an online simulation in which learners start, manage, and grow a business through quarterly decisions in sales and marketing, finance, operations, research and development, and organization. Educators can use its Control Tower to set up activities and scenarios and review learner progress with reports and leaderboards. Validate guides individuals and teams through developing business ideas, completing a sustainability-focused Business Model Canvas, testing assumptions, and sharing a visual portfolio by URL or PDF. Evolution runs in a browser on PCs, Macs, and tablets without installation, but does not support Internet Explorer and is not smartphone-friendly. Evolution and Validate support Microsoft Entra ID sign-in. SimVenture serves education providers, corporate learning teams, entrepreneurs, and startups. An Evolution Personal License costs £50 a year for single-user personal use and includes 12 months of remote maintenance and technical support. Other listed Evolution plans are priced by quote or estimate.
