Stop in the middle of run

Hi, My model took more than 14 days to run on i7 core computer with 16GB RAM. And it still does not give an optimal solution yet. What will happen if we stop AIMMS during the middle of running a model when the solution is not optimal yet? The gap in progress window shows 38.2% for 10 days (see attac...

Very long execution time with BARON solver

Hello,I am solving small MINLP problem using BARON solver to find the ‘optimal’ solution. But for such a small system, 8 hours passed and I have not got the solution yet. My question is: why this solver cannot find the solution after such a long time? Is this because of the way I implemented the mod...

MIP Start with CPLEX

Hi, I would like to know how I can give an initial integer solution to a MIP solved with CPLEX. I found this link on the topic but I’m not convinced about the option it suggests for CPLEX in particular “Advanced basis” sounds like a setting to warm start an LP, not a MIP. I’m also not sure how to ac...
