What if I do not have CONOPT
From ASCEND
If you would like to perform conditional modelling using ASCEND, but don't wish to invest in the CONOPT optimiser, your options are as follows:
- implement an alternative optimiser and make the necessary changes to CMSlv
- rejuvenate the Interior Point solver, IPSlv and see if will solve your problem.
- use conditional methods to perform boundary checking instead.
- solve your problem as a conditional dynamic model instead.
- use CONOPT for a limited trial period of two months (see CONOPT for more information)
We are currently working on implementing the IPOPT solver with ASCEND: see Survey of optimisation software.
