Frequently Asked Questions
A: Each modeling language posesses strengths and limitations. The APMonitor modeling language is built for the rapid construction and real-time deployment of differential and algebraic equation solutions. These models can be applied for optimization, dynamic parameter estimation, and control of live systems.
A: Documentation is available at:
http://apmonitor.ath.cx/wiki
A: The software is available through the web-based interface at:
http://apmonitor.ath.cx/sandbox A: Chances are that there is a good starting model somewhere on the internet. If you translate that model into APMonitor language, please consider submitting it to the benchmark set so that others may also benefit.
A: Some benchmark models are found in the documentation under the section Applications. These include a variety of models from chemical engineering, financial analysis, aerospace engineering, and bio-sciences.
A: The software is currently not for sale or licensing. It is freely available through the web-based interface.
A: "It was easy to get an application on-line."
A: "Your modeling language seems to be very clear and intuitively usable. I like it very much."
A: Models have been submitted from a variety of industrial and academic institutions through the on-line interface.
