Evolver is an advanced, yet simple-to-use optimisation add-in for Microsoft Excel.

Evolver is an advanced, yet simple-to-use optimisation add-in for Microsoft Excel. Evolver uses innovative genetic algorithm (GA), OptQuest and linear programming technology to quickly solve problems in finance, distribution, scheduling, resource allocation, manufacturing, budgeting, engineering and more. Virtually any type of problem that can be modeled in Excel can be solved by Evolver, including otherwise unsolvable, complex nonlinear problems. Evolver has a unique ability arrive at the best overall global solution to a problemsolutions traditional solvers typically miss.

Key Features:

  • Genetic algorithm optimisation: Find the best global solution to complex, real-life problems
  • OptQuest solving engine: The OptQuest engine integrates Tabu Search, Neural Networks, Scatter Search and Linear/Integer Programming into a single composite method. It provides great results and quickly on many types of models.
  • 100% Excel calculations: Highest level of computation accuracy
  • Seamless integration into Microsoft Excel: Never leave your spreadsheet; get up to speed quickly
  • Streamlined interface: Fewer nested dialogs and fast model setup
  • Ranges for adjustable cells and constraints: Streamlined model setup and editing
  • Six solving methods: Always have the best method for different types of problems
  • Discrete adjustable cells: Specify increments (such as batches of 10) within adjustable cells ranges, improving accuracy for many types of models. Also speeds up optimisation.
  • Progress window: At-a-glance status and handy playback controls
  • Evolver Watcher: Monitor progress toward best solutions
  • Genetic algorithms: Find the best global solution while avoiding getting caught in local, hill-climbing solutions
  • OptQuest solving engine: The OptQuest engine integrates Tabu Search, Neural Networks, Scatter Search and Linear/Integer Programming into a single composite method. It provides great results and quickly on many types of models.
  • Efficient Frontier Analysis: Especially useful in financial analysis, Efficient Frontiers determine the optimal return that can be expected from a portfolio at a given level of risk
  • Automatic selection of solving engine: Saves time and improves accuracy by automatically using the most appropriate engine for your model.
  • Efficient constraint handling: With OptQuest models, RISKOptimiser will not attempt solutions that fail constraints, make optimisations faster. Non-linear constraints are also faster.
  • Genetic operators: Optimisation results fast
  • Original, Best, Last model updating: Instantly see the effects of three solutions on your entire model
  • Reports in Excel: Save and share optimisation and simulation data
  • Application Settings dialog: Define a wide range of default settings for all models
  • Excel Developer Kit (XDK): Automate and customise Evolver through a complete library of commands and functions for VBA.
