For those who are following: To make a variable 0<="Percentage"<=1 vary with a 1% increment in a optimization processes you should set: Multiple Start = Vector Vector Points = 101. If you have "Percentage" with subscript it will vary each one with a 1% increment. The only thing I...

Another question:

When doing the optimization the percentage is varying with too many digits. I would like to vary them just with an 1% increment. This would save a lot of time. How can I do that?

Tks

JJ,
Now I managed to make it work. I just changed Multiple Start to Random. In the file it was set to Off.
It's great! Tks a lot!

JJ,
This very general method is not working. After optimization it's giving as result var1=2, var2=1 and not the correct one var1=10, var2=9.

BOB and TONY, I finally got what you said and now it's working fine. I didn't even had to fix a value for one State. I just run it varying from 0 to 1 for all of them and the result is good! Tks TONY, I just got the book by mail. Tks again guys! LAUJJL, I opened your files and it's exactly the same ...

Tony, Bob and LAUJJL Tks for the help. Using Tony idea it would not work since the system would give me as best result all the State having 100%, which would then give me the "proportional percentage" = 1/9 for every single one. Using Bob idea, it would be me as you said at least one State...

Noap. There are 9 States. This approach will not work. Any new ideas?

Simple problem: to optimise a model using a constant "Percentage" which has a subscript "State". State can be or "A" or "B" and the Percentage[State] can vary from 0 to 1. This is easy. Now the constraint: Percentage[A]+Percentage must be equals to 1. I tried ...
