Scenario Testing in Optimizer using constraints?

Hi Team,

I am using optimizer to test simple scenario where there are 2 processors (1 & 2). I want to limit the Proc1 output to 10 using constraint to get the maximum output in system but it is not limiting the Proc1 output to 10. \

I would like to know if there is any mistake in these setting?

Thank you!

Hi @Jason Lightfoot,

Do you mean it couldn't happen in that way?

I have also tried with the constraint condition "[Proc1_Tput]<=10" but it is not working as expected.

Thank you!

The optimizer cannot enforce the constraint in the model unless you've coded something that will enforce it based on a parameter it changes. It will just try to avoid parameter sets that it thinks might break the constraint. It's an additional penalty for solutions that break the constraint (as I understand it).

I completely agree to your point.

Would you mind checking in this model where it is going wrong?

Optimizer_Testing.fsm

There is no code written to break the constraint. All objects are having default logic for input and output ports.
