| In the Premium Solver Platform V8.0, you
can define your optimization model using the same interactive
dialogs and VBA macros as the Excel Solver and previous
versions of the Premium Solver Platform. But Version 8.0 also supports a
new style of model definition, using PSI functions on the
worksheet. These functions are compatible with the family of
PSI functions used by Risk Solver
Engine.
You can move easily
between the interactive dialogs and PSI functions when creating
your model. You can define variables and constraints by
entering PSI function calls in worksheet cells, and you’ll
find that these variables and constraints appear in the Solver
Parameters dialog the next time you display it. You can also
define variables and constraints in the Solver Parameters
dialog, and cause PSI function calls to appear automatically
in cells on the worksheet. |
PSI functions offer a new alternative
for Load and Save Model commands. |
Interactive Optimization
The Premium Solver Platform V8.0 also supports
Interactive Optimization: If you enable this feature, the
Solver will re-optimize your model each time you change a number
on the spreadsheet. For small to medium size models, this is not
only a convenience – it can be a real decision aid: You’ll
find that insights about your model, and decisions you can
make, start to flow intuitively, when you can quickly see the
impact of changing a parameter on the optimal solution.
