SolverStudio
SolverStudio is a free
SolverStudio adds a text editor to Excel that is used to create a text-based optimization (or simulation) model using a modelling language such as
SolverStudio works with a range of commercial and open source modelling systems. By default, it uses PuLP, an open-source Python COIN-OR modelling language. A second open-source Python option is Pyomo which supports non-linear and stochastic programming and provides access to a larger range of solvers. Another supported linear and non-linear modelling option is Julia/JuMP.
SolverStudio also makes the two popular commercial modelling languages,
The GNU clone of AMPL, GMPL (GNU MathProg Language) is included with SolverStudio.
SolverStudio includes the open-source COIN-OR CMPL modelling language, and the Python-based SimPy simulation language. SolverStudio supports general programming using both Python and IronPython, allowing these programming languages to be used to script Excel using the standard VBA interfaces.
