API

createOptModel!(model_object::anyModel)

reportTimeSeries(car_sym::Symbol, model_object::anyModel)

Writes elements of energy balance for carrier specified by car_sym to .csv file. See Time-series.

printObject(print_df::DataFrame, model_object::anyModel)

Writes a DataFrame of parameters, constraints, or variables to a .csv file in readable format (strings instead of ids). See Individual elements.

printDuals(print_df::DataFrame, model_object::anyModel)

Writes duals of a constraint DataFrame to a .csv file in readable format (strings instead of ids). See Individual elements.

printIIS(model_object::anyModel)

Uses Gurobi's computeIIS function to determine the constraints of the optimization problem that cause infeasibility.

plotTree(tree_sym::Symbol, model_object::anyModel)

Plots the hierarchical tree of nodes for the set specified by tree_sym. See Node trees.

plotEnergyFlow(plotType::Symbol, model_object::anyModel)

Plots the energy flow in a model. Set plotType to :graph for a qualitative node graph or to :sankey for a quantitative Sankey diagram. See Energy flow.

moveNode!(model_object::anyModel, newPos_arr::Union{Array{Tuple{String,Array{Float64,1}},1},Tuple{String,Array{Float64,1}}})

Moves a node within the current layout of the node graph created with plotEnergyFlow. See Energy flow.
