Hi,

how can i find out what are the default solvers that are used by GAMS to solve the models?

Thanks,
Sara

Dear Sara!

In GAMS IDE

Left upper corner → “file”
inside “option”
inside “solver”

Make Your choice!

All the best! Andre

Hi Sara


\

  •      You can see in the GAMSIDE what the available solvers are: File – Options – Solver. Those with a dot are available (those with – not). You can set the default solver for a specific problem (e.g. NLP) by clicking on the dot in the line with your solver of preference.  I suppose GAMS just takes the first solver in the line.

  •      You can run gamsinst.exe (even if GAMS is already installed) from your GAMS directory and it will show the solvers it chooses as default.

  •      If you don’t explicitly choose one either in the GAMSIDE or using gamsinst.exe, and you want to solve your model with a non-default solver you can use an option in your model file specifying the solver. (e.g. Option nlp = PATHNLP;)




Hope this helps

Cheers

Renger
