Installation

Dependencies

  • Python >= 3.9
  • numpy >= 1.21.5 (although earlier versions compatible with python 3.7 will probably work).

Pip installation

The easiest way to install gurobi-modelanalyzer is using pip in a virtual environment:

(.venv) pip install gurobi-modelanalyzer

This will also install the numpy and gurobipy dependencies. One of the advanced functions makes use of matplotlib; if you haven't already installed that and plan to use this function (matrix_bitmap), you can either install the matplotlib package directly, or install it with the gurobi-modelanalyzer package via "pip install gurobi-modelanalyzer matplotlib".

Please note that gurobipy is commercial software and requires a license. When installed via pip or conda, gurobipy ships with a free license for testing and can only solve models of limited size.

Then use the explainer functions. Example usage

import gurobipy as gp
import gurobi_modelanalyzer as gma
model=gp.read("myillconditionedmodel.mps")
model.optimize()
gma.kappa_explain(model)

# row-based explanation (default)
gma.kappa_explain(model, expltype="ROWS")

# column-based explanation
gma.kappa_explain(model, expltype="COLS")

# angle-based explanation (only looks for pairs of rows or columns
# that cause ill-conditioning.
gma.angle_explain(model)

Use help(gma.kappa_explain) or help(gma.angle_explain) for information on more advanced usage.

Getting a Gurobi License

Alternatively to the bundled limited license, there are licenses that can handle models of all sizes.

As a student or staff member of an academic institution, you qualify for a free, full-product license. For more information, see:

For a commercial evaluation, you can request an evaluation license.
