A One-Hour Tutorial for Beginners
Ways to learn AIMMS \(\ldots\)
There are several ways in which you can learn the AIMMS language and get a basic understanding of its underlying development environment. The following opportunities are immediately available.
There are two tutorials on AIMMS to provide you with some initial working knowledge of the system and its language. One tutorial is intended for beginners (the current one you are reading), while the other is aimed at building a first full application. You may register on the AIMMS Academy to use it.
There is an example library with a variety of examples to illustrate simple and advanced applications together with particular aspects of both the language and the graphical user interface.
There are three references on AIMMS
User’s Guide to introduce you to AIMMS and its development environment,
Language Reference to describe the modeling language in detail, and
Optimization Modeling to enable you to become familiar with building models.
\(\ldots\) for beginners
As a beginner into optimization modeling languages, you may not have much time for learning yet another tool in order to finish some project or homework requirements. In this case, concentrate your efforts on this tutorial. After completing this tutorial, you should be able to use the system to build your own simple models, and to enter your own small data sets for subsequent viewing. The book on Optimization Modeling may teach you some useful tricks, and will show you different (mostly non-trivial) examples of optimization models.
