GAMS/ODHCPLEX is a solver from Optimization Direct Inc. that implements a set of heuristic methods (named ODHeuristics) for finding feasible solutions to Mixed Integer Programming (MIP and MIQCP) models that uses IBM CPLEX as its underlying solver engine. It is designed for large-scale models which a MIP solver would find intractable: either by it being unable to find feasible solutions at all or; more usually, by being unable to find feasible solutions of adequate quality in the time available to its user.
It is intended for users who are familiar with MIP modelling and have some knowledge of using the GAMS/CPLEX solver. GAMS/ODHCPLEX does not demand expert specialism in this field.
In this webinar, the main developer of ODH|CPLEX and president of Optimization Direct, Robert Ashford, gives an overview of the benefits of the solver and shows how to use it with GAMS, based on a nurse scheduling problem.
This webinar has been recorded in February 2021.
