Optimization
Viewing the ASCII Output File
Viewing the ASCII Output File
The ASCII results from the optimizer output file (.otm) can be viewed by running the utility
named viewotm. This utility can be invoked from the command line as follows:
Syntax
viewotm [-l d] -f file.otm
Parameters
• -l d
Specifies the level of detail to view, from 1 to 5. Level 1 (default) gives the least detail while
level 5 gives the most.
-l 1
A summary of the results of the optimization is displayed (merit function, values of
the variables, and the objectives)
-l 2
Some additional information relating to the initialization phase is displayed.
-l 3, 4, or 5
The information displayed is progressively more detailed.
When an outer loop has been performed, the amount of data can be very large. In this case
level 1 only reports the simplified results in a table at the end of the .otm file. An example is
given in “Solving Problems with Pseudodiscrete Variables” on page 668.
• -f
Name of the .otm file to be displayed.
