The question is in title. I need to automatically create Agent when model starts, and I need this Agent became static. If this type of Agent was a standart Java class I'll make it's static and create it with standart Java code:

MyClass myClass = new MyClass();

But I need to do this things with Anylogic agent.

You cannot instantiate anything static, that is the definition of static in Java.

Your example code also does not instantiate a static MyClass (but a non-static instance of MyClass).

In order to create agent objects dynamically (instantiate them), you can simple create an event at time 0 to MyAgent newAgent = new MyAgent();

The better approach is to add the agent directly into an existing population using myPop.add_MyAgent();

PS: If you truly want to use static elements, you may need to brush up some OOP and Java first :) But I think you did not mean that, you want to instantiate an agent dynamically at runtime, right?
