Step 4: Solve the RASON Optimization model
Click Solve RASON Model in the bottom left of the extension, in Visual Studio Code, to solve the RASON optimization model. The model can also be solved from the command palette by typing Solve RASON Model.

Step 5: Console Panel
After clicking Solve RASON Model, the Console pane appears and displays information about the solve process as well as the results ready for export. Upon successful completion, the console displays a message such as “Solver found a solution. All constraints and optimality conditions are satisfied.”, indicating that an optimal solution has been found.
When the model is executed in the RASON Desktop extension, within Visual Studio Code, the solve process is performed on the RASON.net server. The model and its associated data are sent to the server, where the optimization is carried out, and the results are then returned to the RASON Desktop extension. This is true even when RASON Solver Mode is set to Local.

Step 6: View the Results
After solving the model, the results are displayed under Solve Results. The solution includes the values of the decision variables (production quantities) and the objective function (total profit). These values represent the optimal solution that satisfies all constraints. Recall that these values are included in the output due to the use of the “finalValue” property utilized in the “variables” and “objective” sections in the RASON example model.
- Click View for both “total” and “x” to view the final objective function and variable values in the Dataframe Viewer.
