Multi-depot VRP

Hello Team, I am working on the multidepot-VRP problem an extension of your practical example capacitated VRP. I want to make a model in which vehicles will depart from their depots to serve different customers and turn back to the same depot where it started from. I made a rough model but facing some sort of errors. Kindly check and help me to resolve my model. I shall be really thankful to you. Looking forward for your kind response. Regards

MIP Relative Optimality Tolerance

Hi, In the Options Tree, I have been changing the MIP Relative Optimality Tolerance to 0.5%, 1.0%, 5.0% and 10.0% to analyse the performance of the solution, gap and solving time. I wish to change the gap to 0.5%, 1.0%, 5.0% and 10.0% to analyse whether the solving time can be reduce by changing the gap. However, the CPLEX always stop at either 0.04%, 0.12% or 0.00% of gap. Is there any way to stop the CPLEX at 10% of gap?

How to bypass processor groups to support more than 64 logical cores

Hi AIMMSians, I am using the AMD 3995WX processor which has 128 logical processors. I realized that a single instance of AIMMS only uses 64 logical processors as processors are grouped by windows’ limit (64 cores). To use all 128 processors, I can run two instances of AIMMS at the same time. The first instance gets affinity of group0. Then I need to modify the affinity of the second instance to use the second NUMA (group1). Still, I would like one instance of AIMMS employs all logical processors. I assume the same problem exists on servers where the number of logical cores often exceeds 64. Is there any way to bypass windows' processor group policy (i.e. make AIMMS group aware) and distribute the job between all 128 available threads? Note 1: I tried CPLEX and GUROBI solvers. I am not sure if this limitation is related to AIMMS or the solvers.Note 2: I am aware of disabling Hyperthreading/SMT, but that is not desirable.

Calling AIMMS from Python with academic license

Hi everyone,I have been trying to call an AIMMS (academic license) procedure from python although this doesn't seem to work. I got the following code from another thread, which seems to work with a paid license. I also saw on another post that the academic licence might have some limitations in this regard. Is there an API in another language, were I can make Python wrapper around this other language?orIs it possible that AIMMS internally allows to run scripts in some language, in which case a script can be built in such a way that they exchange model parameters/inputs/results with the outside world? Best regards,

Releasing RAM memory after finishing with an execution

I want to clear the memory used by AIMMS after running an execution. I delete the GMP but still huge amount of RAM is occupied by AIMMS after the run. So I have to close and open the AIMMS to have a fresh start (i.e. with a clear RAM memory). Is there anyway to clean the RAM used by AIMMS after the execution so I do not need to close and open it again and again? Thanks in advance.

Issue with retrieving optimality gap and solution time

Hi. I am trying a generate a plot of optimality gap vs solution time. For that, I am trying to retrieve incumbent solution, best bound and solution time after every 5 iterations. But, for some reason, I am having issues with callback and I don’t get anything retrieved. Attached herewith are the images giving implementation of callback operation. Could anyone please tell where I am going wrong? Thanks, Sujit

How can I show the legend on a WebUI linechart?

The WinUI has a super obvious tab for the Legend of a linechart. But there seems to be NO way whatsoever to display the legend (or anything that will work as a legend) on a WebUI linechart. I even tried the (seemingly obvious) solution of using a legend widget. If this will work, I can't figure out how. Is there a way to show the legend? And if you don't have on yet, is there a workaround and do you have it in the plans in the future?

Unable to solve model

Dear all, In the accompanied model, I try to decrease the inter-facility transport flows between warehouses by changing the production allocation per factory. However, when I try to solve this model, after +- 20 seconds the solution comes back at '0', and I can see that nothing has changed. Could anyone point out to me why this is happening? Kind regards,

Export to .aimmspack from Azure DevOps pipeline

Is it possible to export an AIMMS model to .aimmspack file from Azure Devops Pipeline?Goal is to generate the .aimmspack file from the Azure Devops Pipeline after the model source files have changed. I was hoping to run aimms.exe --export-to without have a user signed in, or storing the private license files in a public place.From Documentation:Through the --export-to option you can instruct Aimms to create an encrypted end-user project either packed to the .aimmspack file specified, or unpacked into a specified folder. When using this commandline option, Aimms will use the export settings as saved by the previous call to the File-Export End-User Project menu. You can use this commandline option, for instance, within the context of a continuous integration server, to automate the deployment of your Aimms application after new commits have been pushed to the version control repository managing the project. Specifying the unpack folder When running an .aimmspack file, Aimms will ask for

How to build a crossroad/ 2 ways

Hi,I want to build a model that can transport stuff from (i to j) directly or by stopping over at facility r.The transportcost (i to r) and (r to j) are cheaper than the direct transport (i to j). Problems:Open(r ) is either 0 or all possible r are opened and the amount is divided up evenlyEven if transportcosts are way lower for the extrastop r than without, the model does never choose to move all products past extrastop r. (capacities are more than enough) (goal is to minimize total cost (fixed cost and transport cost included)Related Constraints:Amount(i,r)+Amount(d,r)<=Demand(i)*OpenRecycling( r) // index (i,d,r) sum(i,Amount(i,r))+sum(d,Amount(d,r))<=Capacity(r)* Open( r) //index (r ) sum(r,Amount(i,r))+sum(r,Amount(d,r))=(Returnrate(i)*(demand(i))) //index (i,r) sum(i,Amount(i,d))<=Capacity(d)*open(d) //index(d) sum(i,Amount(i,d))=sum(r,Amount(d,r)) //index(d) Thanks for your help.I´m more than happy to post my model if that helps

MINOS Warning: Model status 13: Error no solution, Solver status 9: Error: Setup failure (see message window).

Dear AIMMS Team, I am a PhD student in the UK and I have been trying to solve a non-linear non-convex optimisation problem with different solvers for a Journal Paper. The following are the CPU details: Intel Core i7 2.2GHz, 16GB RAM memory, 64-bit operating system. So far the solvers CONOPT 4.0 and IPOPT 3.11 have been able to solve the case without problems. Unfortunately, when I use MINOS the following error appears: Errors/Warnings Warning: Model status 13: Error no solution, Solver status 9: Error: Setup failure (see message window).

How to Link to Excel Files

The AimmsXLLibrary was introduced in AIMMS 4.20. You can deploy your AIMMS project to more platforms with less restrictions, because this library can communicate with Excel files in server environments where Excel is not installed. For instance, while running AIMMS through a WebUI on PRO or on Linux. The AimmsXLLibrary doesn’t require Excel to be installed in order to read from or write to an Excel (.xls/.xlsx) file. You first need to add the system library `AIMMSXLLibrary` to your model, and then you can use the predefined `axll::` functions.

How to get a variable range subset of a set?

Hi,I am working on a project of delivery planning.In my model i have a constraint which defines the Unavailability of a vehicle for some time due to maintenance or already on a delivery. The Time a vehicle becomes unavailable is a parameter.the constraint is :Here,X_v,t → indicator variable for maintenance(whether need to go for maintenance)S(v) → time required for maintenance of vehicle v status_v,t → indicator variable for availability of vehicle v on day t I am unable to write it in AIMMS. how to get the range of tau ?i was able to get the range for a single value parameter h using SubRange function tau in SubRange(T, t, t + h)but for a parameter set S SubRange is not working. Writing S(v) in place of single valued parameter h giving me this error*There is a mismatch in the master sets of set "T" and domain set "S" in the first argument of the call to intrinsic function "SubRange". what could be a possible solution for writing this constraint if S(v) i

Subset in given order and not ascending or descending

Hi all, I am modelling production routes per production order in which the production routes provide the sequence of the jobs to follow. I created a subset ProductionRoute(i) that is a subset of all possible jobs. See below a production order i that follows the sequence: SMD → AOI → REW. When implementing this in the subset and when running the model, it will follow the sequence AOI → REW → SMD since operations is stated ascending. Such as below. Is there a possibility to model in AIMMS that it should follow the production route as stated in the first figure? Instead of looking to the ascending order of the subset.

writing for loop

Dear, I want to do a cycle for. I have two boundary values and I want to consider values between these boundaries. Then for these considered values I want to solve the Min_Total_Costs and have the values of Total Costs for the considered values. How can I write this cycle for? How can define set, ect? For now I wrote this code for e| (epsilon_e(e))>epsilonl and (epsilon_e(e)) CO2_ec:=epsilon_e(e); solve Min_Total_Costs; Total_Costs_e(e):=Total_Costs; endfor; with e the index of a set ep and epsilon_e(e) an integer variable. But it seems that it is not working. Can you help me? Thanks.
