<div>I just encountered our first Coopr user that has generated models such that the resulting CBC solution files contain rows for variable lines that are prefixed by "**". </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>When I look at the code (CBCGenSolution.cpp), it is obvious that the "**" indicate – in the case of variables – that the bounds have been violated for this particular variable.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This makes sense for a brief moment, until I realize that CBC is reporting the solution is optimal. Solutions can of course violate strict bounds when tolerances are considered, but I would assume I would see this behavior on any of the numerous other
models we have solved with CBC. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Can anyone shed some light on this condition, and how the resulting solution should be interpreted? </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
