Just a Few of the Features Designed to Help You Succeed
- Automatic model diagnosis and engine selection — Know exactly what type of model you have and the best engine to use to solve it.
- Guided mode – It’s like having an expert sitting next to you helping you understand your model, fix any errors, and get the best answer.
- Automatic model transformation — Go ahead and use IF, AND, OR, NOT, MIN, and MAX functions. Premium Solver Platform will automatically transform the model for the best answer in the least time.
- Parameterized Optimizations — Easily run multiple optimizations changing key parameters to do advanced sensitivity and trade-off analysis.
- Object-oriented API — More easily develop powerful custom applications in Excel and move applications from Excel to languages such as C++, VB.NET, and Java.
- Plug-in Solver engines — Have a particularly large or challenging problem? Use specialized solver engines from the world’s most respected companies such as Gurobi, XPRESS, KNITRO, and more.
- Upgradeable — Premium Solver Platform is easily upgradeable so you can use Monte Carlo simulation in your models to make the best decisions in situations of uncertainty.
