Hi, Sergio,

Thanks for your reply. Do you mean the book Optimization Modeling? Actually, I read related chapter 18 in that book, but it's all about how to derive the problem and how to formulate it. What I need is a step by step tutorial telling you how to feed the formulated MINLP problem into AIMMS. Do you know any material of this kind?

Thanks for your advise though.

I think you should check the index of all examples. Open the examples, check the model explorer window and have a look on the syntax.

Hi Lingfeng,

Besides the index of all examples, you could also take a look at the Tutorial For Beginners, which you can find in the help menu of AIMMS. This tutorial shows you how to create a model from scratch in AIMMS. Note that it is an LP model, but the same principles will hold for building MINLP model in AIMMS.
