1. Exporting an AnyLogic Model Without AnyLogic Cloud #

Since you're using the PLE version, you have a couple of cloud-free options to share or distribute your model:

• Export as an AnyLogic Player Package: This is the most straightforward way to share a runnable version of your model without requiring others to have the full AnyLogic IDE. Here's how:

  1. Open your model in AnyLogic PLE.
  2. Go to the File menu → select Export Model.
  3. Choose the AnyLogic Player Package option, then specify a save location.
  4. This creates a ZIP file that contains all necessary files to run your model using the free AnyLogic Player. Recipients just need to extract the ZIP and run the included executable or JAR file.

• Share the Project Source Folder: If you want to share the editable model with someone who also has AnyLogic PLE, simply zip up your entire project folder (the one containing the .alp file and associated resources). They can open the .alp file directly in their AnyLogic PLE installation.

2. Exporting Model Views as PNG/JPEG Without AnyLogic Cloud #

Absolutely—you don't need the cloud to export images of your model's presentation or simulation view. Here are two methods:

• Manual Export from the IDE/Simulation:

  1. Either in the model editor (design view) or during a running simulation, focus on the view window you want to export.
  2. Right-click anywhere in the view → select Export Image.
  3. Choose your desired format (PNG or JPEG), set the resolution if needed, and pick a save location. The image will be saved locally immediately.

• Programmatic Export (Automated):
  If you want to automatically save images during simulation runs (e.g., at specific time steps or events), use AnyLogic's built-in exportImage() function. For example, you can add this code to an Event or Function:

  import java.io.File;
  import com.anylogic.engine.presentation.ImageFormat;
  
  // Export the current presentation view as a PNG
  getEngine().getPresentation().exportImage(new File("simulation_snapshot.png"), ImageFormat.PNG);
  

  This will save the image to your project's root directory (or specify a full file path for a different location) without any cloud interaction.
