Scheduling in the OPL IDE and Gantt display For solving scheduling problems in CPLEX Optimization Studio, the OPL language provides many scheduling-specific language constructs. Users can also display results in the Gantt chart within the IDE.
Code assist in the OPL IDE In the IDE, the Optimization Programming Language (OPL) is strengthened by an Abstract Syntax Tree which allows to search, replace and recognize a given element as text or as having a certain attribute.
Run an OPL run-configuration locally To solve a given model, users must create a run-configuration which consist of models and data sources. Right-click on the run-configuration and choose “Run this” from the menu.

Introduce IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio to students with this complimentary workshop.
CPLEX Optimization Studio is very agile and provides answers for any scenario. It prepares us for the future by helping us make better decisions. Nevzat Çakmak Project Manager ÇimSA Çimento Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş. Read the case study
Latest news Manage constraints without explicit modelling

Allow the user to incorporate external functions evaluated outside the engine search – for example, from simulation software – into constraints and goals.

 Get better solutions faster

Double speed solution time compared to the default functionality of finding balance between optimal and feasible solutions.

 Make easy connections to data sources

Connect to ODBC, MySQL and CSV without coding using language constructs in IDE through JDBC driver. Use a custom-built connector for other data sources through the dynamic libraries included.
