Tutorial for AIMMS language

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, and are part of the Aimms installation.

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, while the other is aimed at professional users of Aimms.

There is a model 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 reference books on Aimms, which are available in PDF format and in hard copy form. They are The User’s Guide to introduce you to Aimms and its development environment, The Language Reference to describe the modeling language in detail, and Optimization Modeling to enable you to become familiar with building models.

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.
