Testing Your Model Locally

To test your model, write an example input file in XML:

Save your example input XML in a file named input in the same folder as your model and run your model. You will see its output in the Output/Input pane of the Xpress IVE as shown here:

The following 3 files are written after model execution:

• result - An XML file that shows the results of the model. An example of this file is shown below.
• input.xsd - Description of the format of the input file.
• result.xsd - Description of the format of the result file.

Note The table or scalar names used in the input and result files must be unique; there cannot be any overlap in the names used for these files.

Xpress IVE also compiles your model into a .bim file, which you will need later in this tutorial.
