On fixing CPLEX variable names generated by OPL
August 19, 2010 1 Comment
You wrote your OPL model for your important mathematical programming problem. But the result looks weird: the model just cannot produce such solution. The most desperate approach consists in diving though the mathematical programming model generated by OPL, checking each (in)equation one by one.
Here I describe some issues that happened while using the OPL Java interface to create the CPLEX model and to print out the mathematical programming model as a .lp file. And after days of frustration with this .lp printout, I found myself writing my own Java class that renames all CPLEX variables generated by OPL…
