MPL (Mathematical
Programming Language) is an advanced modeling system that allows the
model developer to formulate complicated
optimization models in a clear, concise, and efficient way. Models developed in MPL can then be solved with any of the multiple commercial optimizers available on the market today.
MPL offers a feature-rich model
development environment that takes full advantage of the
graphical user interface in
Microsoft Windows, making MPL a valuable tool for developing optimization models. MPL can import data directly from databases or spreadsheets. Once
the model has been solved, MPL also has the ability to export the solution back
into the database. MPL models can be embedded into other Windows applications, such as databases or spreadsheets, which makes MPL ideal for creating end-user applications.
MPL Integrated Model Development EnvironmentThe MPL Modeling System is a state-of-the-art optimization modeling software. MPL, through the use of advanced
graphical user interface features, creates a flexible working environment that enables the model
developer to be more efficient and productive. MPL provides in a single system all the essential components needed to formulate the model, gather and maintain the data, optimize the model, and then analyze the results.
The model developer uses the built-in model editor to formulate the MPL model statements and then selects the
optimizer directly from the menus to solve the model. The solution results are automatically retrieved from the solver and displayed, providing the user with instant feedback. Each item defined inthe model is also displayed in a tree window allowing the model developer to browse through them easily.
When using MPL to work on multiple models, the user can manage them effectively by utilizing project files. Project files store information about items such as, open model files and windows, the default working directory, and current option settings for both themodeling system and the solver.
