Hi Ray,
Thanks for your help. A fresh Matlab session did indeed reveal the Gurobi
version number. I’ve also got my hands on CPLEX and the latest version of
Matlab in effort to fix this. My new ‘mpver' is shown below.
I updated the most/lib/t/t_most_w_ds.m file as you described. This time
’test_most' ran quickly, although it produced a new set of errors. The result
is also below.
I’m proceeding with my simulation despite this test, but if there is a fix it
would give me confidence going forward. Please do let me know if there’s
anything I should try.
Thanks,
Jack
