    Hello,

    New to CPLEX,

    about CPLEX  community version limited to 1000 variables and 1000 constraints.

    looking for more information on Limits mentioned as what is 1000 variables and 1000 constraints, what kind of problems can be solved within limits of 1000 variables and 1000 constraints and how one can calculate variable and constrains required for solving problem / Optimizing Decision

    Thank  You

    Hello,

    One way to get a better idea of this 1000 variables and 1000 constraints limit is to export your model to a ".lp" file.
    In this format, individual variables and constraints are represented explicitly and are "easy" to count.

    When using a mathematical modelling language, it is a bit trickier to count the actual number of variables and constraints. The benefit of using a higher level modelling framework hide the low level implementation details.

    The nature of problems that can be solved while satisfying these limits depends a lot on your formulation.
    Usually, small instances of your problem can be solved. How the number of variables and constraints scale with the problem size is highly dependent on the formulation. There is no magic formula here.

    Best regards,
