[Ipopt] Runtime modification of the model

[Andreas Waechter]

Paul,

Yes, of course you can solve different optimization problems in one C++ 
program, also in a loop.  It is up to you to implement the methods of the 
TNLP class so that they do different things in different situations. 
What you cannot do is to change the problem formulation (e.g. data) while 
Ipopt is solving a particular problem, only in between different 
optimization runs.
