Setting up GGIG-Models
GAMS-IDE is designed to work seamlessly with large-scale GAMS models, such as those often used in the GGIG community (e.g., FarmDyn, CAPRI, CGEBOX).
The "Main GAMS File" Concept
These models typically consist of hundreds or thousands of files. However, execution usually starts from a single entry point, often called the "starter" or "main" file.
GAMS-IDE introduces the concept of a Main GAMS File to handle this structure effectively.
- What it is: The file that GAMS-IDE will compile and execute when you press "Run".
- Why it helps: You can be editing a small sub-module deep in the directory structure, but when you check for errors or run the model, GAMS-IDE knows to run the Main File, ensuring the context (includes, paths) is correct.
Supported Models
We have specific guides for setting up the following models:
These guides will help you configure the correct mainGmsFile and other workspace settings for a smooth development experience.
