5  Using the TOMNET Solvers

The solvers are normally accessed by creating a TOMNETSolver object using the constructor of each solver class. After initial development work, call the solver directly by using the Solve method.

Built-in checks are executed to make sure that illegal problem statements, such as crossover for bounds, are not sent to the solver.

5.1  Setting Solver Options

Each applicable solver has a member called Options . The Options control the usage of print files, print levels, various convergence criteria and more.

All Options  members are described in the documentation in the tomnet/docs folder.

The following snippet of code demonstrates an example of how to set the PrintFile option for a solver (in this case SNOPT):

  SNOPT solver = new SNOPT();
  string printfilename = "SnoptPrintFile.txt";
  solver.Options.PrintFile = printfilename;
