Purpose

What you are going to do in the tutorial.

After launching the IBM® ILOG® CPLEX® Studio IDE as described in Launching the IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio IDE, you will want to solve a problem of your own. For this, you will first have to define a working document in the IDE. You can do this either by editing an existing project (see Reusing existing files and projects in the IDE Reference) or by starting your own project.

In this tutorial, you will start your own project. To do this, you will:

• Create a project: see Creating an empty project.

• Add an existing model or write a new one: see The pasta production example.

• Add one or more existing data files or write new ones: see Adding data.

• Set mathematical programming options, if applicable: see Changing an MP option value.

Once your project is built, you will populate a run configuration, execute it, and study the results as explained in Executing a project and Examining a solution to the model.
