Java Abstract Classes for Flexible Refinery Simulation in AnyLogic (part 3)This article presents a Java interface architecture for separating physical flow connections from flow information in AnyLogic refinery simulation models. The FlowProvider hierarchy enables flexible statistics collection and preserves detailed flow information even when streams are physically aggregated, supporting loosely coupled and extensible Petroleum Refining Library components.
