View source for EXTERNAL

The '''EXTERNAL''' keyword is used to make procedural calls to '''external methods''' within the [[METHODS]] section of a [[MODEL]]. External methods are defined using other programming languages such as C and Python, allowing greater flexibility for manipulating your model or generating output/graphics than the ASCEND language can offer.


See [[External libraries#External methods]] for more information.

See also [[Goal seeking solver]] for an example of an external method provided with ASCEND.
