Get variable results from failed run in neos using bonmin for a MINLP

425 views Asked by At

I'm using the neos-server to solve a highly constrained MINLP, using the bonmin algorithm. Solving using either a Branch and Bound or the hybrid method. The input code is AMPL

I want to know if it's possible to output variable results for a failed run?

I've tried just about every bonmin option listed here

https://projects.coin-or.org/Bonmin/browser/stable/1.7/Bonmin/doc/BONMIN_UsersManual.pdf?format=raw

I don't know enough about optimization solvers to really understand all of these options.

I've tried different AMPL options but these only work if I have a successful run.

Ultimately, I want to output all the variables in my model with the values from the latest failed run.

This is my commands file

options bonmin_options "bonmin.bb_log_level 4 \
bonmin.algorithm B-BB print_level 6";
solve;
option display_precision 10;
display solve_result_num, solve_result;
display cost.result;
display _varname, _var;

Below is a the header output from a failed run. This provides outputs for all my variables but they are all 0
