Welcome to our new Excel Global Optimization software paradigm
Global-OPT is our proprietary and patented Pattern Search, Derivative-Free Optimizer for NON-LINEAR problem solving. It uses Design of Experiments to determine the Global optimum. It can optimize Smooth and not-Smooth, continuous and DISCRETE variable problems. Global-OPT picks up where “Solver” and other software optimizers leave off. Global-OPT is the deterministic, model-based design optimizer that everyone can use. Our family of global optimization software products shares a common vision: Keep it SIMPLE Make it POWERFUL Price it LOW

Our entry-level Microsoft
Excel (Office 2000 or higher) Add-In optimization software product. Global-OPT is a single objective,
multiple constraint, non-linear problem solving and model optimizing software
tool. Global-OPT makes child’s play of finding the global optimum of the pathological Schwefel function, a common Global Optimization problem known for being difficult to solve as it has a geometrically distant global minimum where many optimization algorithms will get stuck in local optima, never finding the global minimum. Simply: · Set the Objective, the Schwefel Function (in blue), to Minimize · Select the X variable (in green) and set its Min/Max (-500 and 500) · Select the Y variable (again in green) and set its Min/Max (-500 and 500) · Select 'High' for the Exploration Power · And lastly, press the 'Optimize' button to find the Global Optimum. Hit 'Refine' twice to get the result shown below. In a few seconds the coordinates of the minimum value appears. Below you can see the intuitive Global-OPT dialog box and the solution in the spreadsheet. |

Global-OPT Software Features · It is an order of magnitude easier to use than competing systems. Global optimization tasks are defined in intuitive application performance terms not by abstract mathematical expressions.
·
The solution is starting point independent.
·
The solution is repeatable.
·
It combines robust, full-factorial design of experiments (DoE) with OPTIMUM’s patented
global optimization algorithms to solve problems and optimize models with a minimum number of calculations.
·
It is far superior to “genetic/evolutionary algorithms”. It performs
fast and economical single-objective
global optimizations.
The Global-OPT paradigm is a “game
changer” for engineers, designers, scientists and analysts.
· Make any linear assumptions · Use Meta Models · Use approximate Response Surfaces · Extrapolate · Interpolate
Every calculation is a COMPLETE SOLUTION OF THE MODEL OR PROBLEM Global-OPT add-in for Excel |
