Purpose of the tutorial

Describes the type of model used.

In this tutorial, you will see how the IDE displays a dynamically updated progress chart for a constraint programming (CP) example.

The tutorial assumes that you know how to work with projects in the IDE. If this is not the case, read Getting Started with the IDE first.

The tutorial uses a manufacturing problem solved by the CP Optimizer engine to describe the statistics and progress chart in the IDE Output window. Statistics and progress chart work in a very similar manner for models solved with the CPLEX engine. Slight differences can be observed.

For more information, see the topics dedicated to constraint programming in the Language User’s Manual.
