Analytica Optimizer is the highest edition level of Analytica.  In includes all Enterprise features, plus the addition of powerful solver engines.  It discovers decision values that minimize or maximize any quantified objective, subject to constraints.  Or, in cases where an objective quantity is not present, it finds feasible solutions within constraint boundaries.  It handles Linear Programming, Quadratic Programming, and general Non-Linear Programming, and automatically distinguishes among all of them.  Decision variables can  be continuous, semi-continuous, discrete (Integer or Boolean), or mixed.  Best of all, Analytica optimizer seamlessly integrates optimization capability with all of Analytica's core features including Monte Carlo simulation and Intelligent Arrays, simplifying model structure and improving visual accessibility. 

Analytica Optimizer comes standard with Frontline Software’s Premium Solver package of solver engines to handle all types of optimization problem: Linear (LP), Quadratic (QP), and Non-Linear (NLP).  This package contains three engines:

1. LP/Quadratic
2. GRG Nonlinear
3. Evolutionary

Analytica Optimizer can automatically choose the solver engine to match the problem, detecting whether it is linear, quadratic, or more complex. It supports Continuous as well as Mixed-Integer and Semi-Continuous variable domains.  (Semi-continuous variables can take on values within a bounded range or be zero.)  The standard engine package supports up to 8,000 variables and 8,000 constraints for LP and convex QP problems, or 500 variables and 250 constraints for NLP problems.  

For faster performance or larger numbers of variables and constraints, you can add in premium engines, including XPRESS from FICO, Gurobi, Mosek, KNITRO and OptQuest. These are some of the most powerful solver engines available in the World. They plug directly into Analytica Optimizer with full integration of all features, including uncertainty, dynamic simulation, and Intelligent Arrays.It's a complete decision solution that combines solving power, scalability, and ease of use like no other optimization platform can. Electronic download and PDF copies of Manuals. 

Major features and capabilities include:

• Multi-Dimensional Modeling

• Visual Modeling

• Visual Application & Interface Development for analytical models

• Complete Monte-Carlo Simulation Engine

• Large Arrays

• Database and Microsoft Read/Write Integration

• Optimize Monte Carlo samples individually using Intelligent Array logic. It is easy to create a distribution of optimization results

• Define constraints using dynamic expressions for models with recursive dependency.

• Perform Stochastic Optimization by simply defining the objective as the expected value (mean) or fractile percentage threshold of a sampled distribution result.
