AIMMS - Transport Model

Description

The basic example illustrates how to formulate and solve a mathematical program in AIMMS. It contains the declarations and procedures necessary to formulate and solve a simple transportation model.

The objective of the model is to find an optimal distribution of transports from a given set of depots to a given set of customers, such that:
- The demand of every customer is met.
- The amount supplied from each depot does not exceed the total amount available for supply.
- The total cost associated with the totality of transports is minimal.

The database example illustrates how to read model data from and write model data to a database.

The expressions example illustrates how to use expressions in the graphical user interface.

The constraint slacks example illustrates how to formulate and solve a mathematical program in AIMMS using constraint slacks.
