    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hello, <br>
      There is also an interface for IPOPT in our open source software
      FreeFem++ (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.freefem.org/ff++/index.htm">http://www.freefem.org/ff++/index.htm</a>). The software is
      designed<br>
      for solving EDP by the finite elements method, but it can also be
      used for some other tasks. It has its own language which is nearly
      a subset of c with some features of its own. Though, the call to
      IPOPT is simplified and you don't have to play with the c++ part.<br>
      I don't know what are exactly the non-linear system you're playing
      with, but you can visit the web page our feel free to ask me any
      question to see if it could fit your needs.<br>
      <br>
      Best regards,<br>

                Ipopt is the solver engine, GAMS is the interface that
                let you use such<br>
                engine (and many others) from an high-level point of
                view.<br>
                If you don't like gams, you can try other interfaces to
                ipopt or to other<br>
                solver engines.<br>
                <br>
                If you are looking for open source, you may want give a
                try to Pyomo or<br>
                OpenOpt, but they are not documented so extensively like
                GAMS or AMPL.<br>
