Building an Optimization Model
While you likely already know how to build a basic optimization model, in the User Guide there
is a chapter called “Examples: Conventional Optimization” which contains a section on building
your first optimization model, as well as an overview of examples included with Analytic Solver
Platform. These examples will be useful for ideas as you look to build more ambitious models
that better capture the business challenges you face.
