Debugging and Profiling an AIMMS Model

After you have developed an (optimization) model in AIMMS, it will most probably contain some unnoticed logical and/or programming errors. These errors can cause infeasible solutions or results that are not entirely what you expected. Also, you may find that the execution times of some procedures in your model are unacceptably high for their intended purpose, quite often as the result of only a few inefficiently formulated statements. To help you isolate and resolve such problems, AIMMS offers a number of diagnostic tools, such as a debugger and a profiler, which will be discussed in this chapter.

• The AIMMS debugger
• The AIMMS profiler
• Observing identifier cardinalities
