    Hi Carlos,

    It's not uncommon for models with many integer variables (which are not binary variables in disguise) to struggle with finding solutions.  What are the lower and upper bounds on your integer variables?

    As a first step can you try running your model with our No Relaxation (NoRel) heuristic?  Set NoRelHeurTime to an hour or two (perhaps longer if you are able to), and see how it goes.  How successful it is (if at all) can determine next steps.  When you do this also write out a mst file as it will probably be useful later to store any solution that NoRel finds.

    First Question

    Thanks Riley! 

    I have 6 BoolVar and 2 NumVar. 

    The NumVar (both) have a [0,20000] bound. 

    So did what you suggested and got the following results after a 3-hour run.

    Hi Carlos,

    I have 6 BoolVar and 2 NumVar

    I'm not sure what this means.  These are not Gurobi terms.

    How did the NoRel heuristic perform?  That's the part of the log that's interesting at the moment.
