When finished, SFS produces reports about solver behavior and results, and provides additional information about solutions, including sensitivity. NET Framework languages and provides samples in many of them.
In addition, if you prefer a modeling language, you can use Solver Foundation's type safe optimization modeling language OML. Integrated and Third-Party Solvers Solver Foundation allows new or existing third-party solvers to plug into the SFS directly, avoiding the need to learn a new modeling language or the significant overhead in managing solver specific solutions. These solvers include numerical, symbolic, and search algorithms that you can use in your models.
The following system diagram describes the extensible architecture of Microsoft Solver Foundation. For more information see Microsoft Solver Foundation blog. The SFS level is recommended for conceptual clarity of modeling, for ease of binding to data from various sources, for educational use, for introducing you to all the capabilities of Solver Foundation, for automatic selection of a solver to suit your model, and for construction of models which may require the use of more than one kind of solver.
Solver Foundation will be heavily investing in the SFS. The Solver-specific APIs are intended for use by experienced programmers who clearly know which kind of solver they need to use, are prepared to write code to translate a model into a sequence of API calls, and where the usage is to be embedded in an application where the application is fully responsible for capturing the model and supplying the instance data.
The advantage of using the SFS level is that code is almost solver independent. Mixing "Mainstream programmer" with model building is explosive mixture. Wit Jakuczun. Paul Rubin UTC. Patrick Viry UTC. The domain is the type of indexer. By the way — you can also use indexes in constraints and goals of your model an example if you want to make a special calculation on even values. To setup binding for keyed parameter, you have to select the type of the indexer set and a column for the key values.
Once finished you have to select a column for the parameter values. For quality parameters we can do the same — create a parameter for each quality attribute: Density, Fat content, and SNF, but in this case if the company decides to add another quality attribute we need to rebuild our model.
Instead of this we will create a parameter pTankQualityAttributes with a composite key — tank name and attribute name. If your sets are not consistent e. The loadout quantity represents a single value. And now we do the same with C code. To start with a model we have to create a project and add a reference for Microsoft. In Excel Solver Foundation plug-in the process of defining decisions is similar to parameters. C code for decision definition is following:.
When all our inputs and outputs have been set up, we should define constraints. Constraints and goals are described in functions, and you have to get used to the fact that functions in C , Solver Foundation for.
In Solver Foundation for. NET version you should do it with the Product method of the Model class. As defined in requirements, the value of quality attribute after blending weighted average of attribute values based on loaded quantity from each tank. Now if we run our solver and check data that we specified in a binding for the decision we will see out result — the quantity of the components that we have to take from each storage tank to make our perfect blend.
When we check the report of solving we can find some useful information about how solving was done:. As we can see in this report, the model that we made can be solved with linear programming LP and Solver Foundation solved it with simplex method which is basic algorithm for solving these kinds of models. In our case Solver Foundation selected this method automatically, but we can also specify preferred method by using directives.
As an example, we can configure Solver Foundation to use the interior point method that is also capable of solving our model, but most probably the result will be less accurate then when you let solver decide. Our previous model is good until we have enough of product in our storage tanks to loadout.

Users have the option to use linear programming, non-linear programming, quadratic programming, mixed integer linear programming, second order conic programming, compact quasi-Newton programming, or constraint satisfaction programming in their models.
It is an algebraic modeling language that has identifiers, comments, string literals, Boolean constants, and arbitrary precision literals.
