The '''FIX''' and '''FREE''' statements are used to constrain (fix) and unconstrain (free) variables. A variable which has been fixed has a known value assigned to it, and ASCEND will not attempt to change that value. On the other hand, with free variables, ASCEND will try to determine a way to calculate the value, using equations defined in the [[MODEL]] and the known values of other variables that have already been solved or fixed. | |||
