The optimization engine exposes several settings that you can change to influence how the search for the optimum proceeds and when it terminates. The specific collection of available settings is a function of which engine is used to solve the optimization, so that if you install and use an add-on engine, other than the engine that comes standard with Analytica Optimizer, the possible settings might be different. The OptInfo function can be used to view current values for a problem.

To see this, define a variable as:

OptInfo(Opt, "Settings")

Where Opt identifies the variable containing the DefineOptimization function.

Settings can be changed for a particular problem by specifying values for the «SettingName» and «SettingValue» parameters to DefineOptimization(). The first subsection below describes how you specify and view settings, while the subsequent sub-sections detail particular settings used by engines the come standard with Analytica Optimizer.
