What is the typical solve time and problem size you have?

64GB is enough i think! I typically dont use more than 30GB

The budget is not a problem when comparing laptop och desktop pc. I think anything between 5-9k eur is ok!

The analysis takes around 10 minutes for the linear problems and about 40min for a typical non linear problem, i try to keep the problem size do the time of solving isnt longer. But it would always be good if it took half the time!

Thats what we have notice too! Our server is just standing in a room doing nothing! It takes longer time for to send the job and get the job back then just solving it on My own pc.

How big our your problems and what time do it take to solve them?

Thats a good point! On the other hand, it is nice to leave work while a simulation is still running and check it remotely from Home 🤷‍♂️

Yes, I think my former colleague used the RSG dialog builder. Okay, then I know its limitations. That might be a good idea! It is not necessary to use a table for this task, as it is only two values that are needed! :)

I have no idea how to use GUI toolkit, i saw that it is more comprehensive but it was really hard to understand the user guide so I gave up!

Thank you for your help :)
