Time-Based Modeling

In AIMMS there are three fundamental building blocks for time-based modeling namely horizons, calendars and timetable-based aggregation and disaggregation. These concepts coincide with your natural view of time, but there are associated details that need to be examined. Using these building blocks, you can develop time-dependent model-based applications with substantially less effort than would otherwise be required.
