CONOPT is a multi-method nonlinear-programming (NLP) solver based on the generalised reduced gradient method. It has been under development by Arne Drud (ARKI Consulting) for over 25 years, and is a very stable and widely-respected solver.
CONOPT works with ASCEND both as a standalone NLP solver, as well as an integral part of our conditional modelling solver, CMSlv.
CONOPT is commercial software and can not be distributed as part of ASCEND. You must obtain CONOPT separately, see Obtaining CONOPT for ASCEND for details. Free trial copies are available off the web, as described.
As of 2010, Arne's http://www.conopt.com/ site as well as the ARKI Consulting site have gone offline. CONOPT binaries are still available from GAMS website, and we also have a copy of the source code which can be compiled on demand for legitimate trial or paid users of CONOPT, providing suitable confirmation is given by Arne Drud.
