AMPL-COM
AMPL-COM is an object-oriented Component Library, specifically designed to embed optimization models into end-user applications. The design of AMPL-COM is based on ActiveX/Automation component software technologies from Microsoft. OptiMax can be used to seamlessly integrate AMPL models into various different programming platforms, such as VBA for Excel/Access, Visual Basic, Visual C++, Delphi, Java, and standard scripting languages for the Web.
AMPL - COM provides the bridge between the optimisation model and the end-user application. The AMPL-COM library is built as a hierarchy of objects that details all the knowledge that AMPL contains about the model and is made available to the application developer through the object hierarchy. This enables the software developer to concentrate on building the end-user application without having to be concerned with the details of the optimisation model.
Key Features
AMPL-COM is an object library that contains very extensive set of collections, objects, methods and properties, covering all aspects of implementing optimization models in end-user applications. This includes reading and maintaining models, writing solution files, importing and exporting data, solving models, and option handling. The library as well as gives full access to all the internal data structures that AMPL uses to store model information.
General Model Handling
- Reading model files
- Parse model in parts
- Querying model information
- Modifying models
- Keep multiple models in memory
- Detailed error handling
Input/Output Capabilites
- Reading input data files (dense/sparse)
- Writing solution output files
- Native solver input/output files
- Spreadsheet import and export
