Detailed Description

A necessary class for defining the model data and function evaluations.

Defining and solving a model using CONOPT requires a model data object. The user must define a class that inherits the pyconopt.ModelData class, then defining the virtual functions that correspond to callbacks in C API.

Defining the model requires the use of the pyconopt.ModelData.addConstraint and pyconopt.ModelData.addVariable methods. Solving the model requires the evaluation of the nonlinear functions and corresponding derivatives. As such it is necessary to implement the virtual functions pyconopt.ModelData.evaluateNonlinearTerm and pyconopt.ModelData.evaluateNonlinerJacobian.
