tl; dr: does anyone do Agent based modelling?  How do you do it / what libraries do you use?



I am new to Modelica and I am wondering if this approach is possible and if there are any examples of good/best practice.
I have a simple model of a plant whose growth depends on inputs of sun, rain and temperature.  I want to simulate it in a 2 dimensional space surrounded by other plants (potentially thousands) which can remove some of the light and rain or buffer it from temperature drops or spikes.

Is this something that's possible / advisable to do?  If so I'd be grateful for any simple examples or gotchas.  Thank you!

I realised I am asking about agent based modelling in Modelica.  And there is an article on that here. The URL to the library here: https://www.euclides.dia.uned.es/vsanz is not working but searching for AMBLib shows up:

https://mathematica.stackexchange.com/q … ib-and-wsm
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/326 … n-modelica

https://build.openmodelica.org/Document … NALib.html
http://www.euclides.dia.uned.es/DESLib/ <- the download link no longer works

I'm not sure it would be suitable but ModelicaDEVS was mentioned although it does not seem to have much use / activity: https://github.com/modelica-3rdparty/ModelicaDEVS

There's also this article: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/a … via%3Dihub but I can't find any accompanying library.
