Get formatted equations from LP/MPS file

[Cord Wayne]

When solving problems with many (changing) constraints or objective components it is pretty hard to create documentation in form of formatted equations for it.

Is there an easy way to automatically create formatted equations (LaTeX, PDF,..) from LP/MPS files?

This would be a big help for me.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Cord,

MPS/LP files contain model instances and therefore cannot serve as a documentation for the model generator (i.e. the abstract model). Furthermore they contain floating point representations of the coefficient values which can be long and hard to read. 

So if you really want to transform your model instance into LaTeX equations, you could either do it by reading and transforming the model file itself or you could use the Gurobi API to read your model file and then retrieve variables, objective function, constraints and bounds. 

Best wishes,

Kostja

Hi Kostja,

thanks for your answer!  I'll then probably go the way with the model file.

Best wishes,
