Gurobi

Initial setup

from pyoptinterface import gurobi

model = gurobi.Model()

You need to follow the instructions in Getting Started to set up the optimizer correctly.

If you want to manage the license of Gurobi manually, you can create a gurobi.Env object and pass it to the constructor of the gurobi.Model object, otherwise we will initialize an implicit global gurobi.Env object automatically and use it.

env = gurobi.Env()

model = gurobi.Model(env)

For example, you can set the parameter of the gurobi.Env object to choose the licensing behavior.

env = gurobi.Env(empty=True)
env.set_raw_parameter("ComputeServer", "myserver1:32123")
env.set_raw_parameter("ServerPassword", "pass")
env.start()

model = gurobi.Model(env)

Solver-specific operations

Parameter

For solver-specific parameters, we provide get_raw_parameter and set_raw_parameter methods to get and set the parameters.

model = gurobi.Model()

# get the value of the parameter
value = model.get_raw_parameter("TimeLimit")

# set the value of the parameter
model.set_raw_parameter("TimeLimit", 10.0)

Attribute

Gurobi supports a lot of attributes for the model, variable, and constraint. We provide methods to get or set the value of the attribute.

  • Model attribute: model.get_model_raw_attribute(name: str) and model.set_model_raw_attribute(name: str, value: Any)

  • Variable attribute: model.get_variable_raw_attribute(variable, name: str) and model.set_variable_raw_attribute(variable, name: str, value: Any)

  • Constraint attribute: model.get_constraint_raw_attribute(constraint, name: str) and model.set_constraint_raw_attribute(constraint, name: str, value: Any)
