I’m currently working on a timetable model that is supposed to deal if a pretty big number of variables. I need to test the behavior of the constraints with a large number of variables but as expected it is taking a long time to analyze the whole tree and get to the optimum solution.
The problem is that i'm still learning how to deal with this kind of problems and with GLPK in general. Is there any kind of tips for large scale MIP models? Some parameter that could help me?
I'm constantly seeing people talking about CBC, but the problem is that i don't know how to use it, since i'm using GUSEK which is an IDE, it makes a lot of things easier to understand, you just type the code, set it up and run the solver, but as I've been searching, there seems to be no IDE for CBC.
How can i take my model and solve it with CBC?
Thanks.
