RE: Solver

Hi Stephen,

Thank you for the forum question.

The differences between the solver methods GRG Nonlinear - Simplex LP - Evolutionary is bit technical. They will all try to solve the problem but it is a question about how long time you want to use to solve it and if you want to have the best solution.

It is very well explained if you look at the links below.
