Hi,

How is it possible to evaluate a user-defined solution value in a "main" block? Note that we dont want CPLEX to solve the model. Just evaluates our proposed solution values for decision variables and put them in the objective function and the constraints. Therefore, for example,I can get duals and slacks.

Any help is highly regarded.

Hi,

have you thought about using warmstart and stop at the first solution ?

Thanks,

I know "warmstart" but DONT know about stopping at the first solution. I'd really glad to have an example.

NOTE that the proposed solution values for the decision variables "can" violate the constraints and they dont necessarily have to be feasible.

Hi,

to stop after the first solution http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21400089

By changing the bounds of constraints you may turn the model into feasible

So many thanks,

But is there any better & simple idea?

Hi,

if the objective is a formula you may compute this with any set of values.
