block

(class from pyomo.core.kernel.block)

class pyomo.core.kernel.block.block

Bases: IBlock

A generalized container for defining hierarchical models by adding modeling components as attributes.

Examples

>>> import pyomo.kernel as pmo
>>> model = pmo.block()
>>> model.x = pmo.variable()
>>> model.c = pmo.constraint(model.x >= 1)
>>> model.o = pmo.objective(model.x)

Member Documentation

activate(shallow=True)

Activate this container.

child(key)

Get the child object associated with a given storage key for this container.

Raises:

KeyError – if the argument is not a storage key for any children of this container

child_ctypes()

Returns the set of child object category types stored in this container.

children(ctype=<class 'pyomo.core.kernel.base._no_ctype'>)

Iterate over the children of this block.

Parameters:

ctype – Indicates the category of children to include. The default value indicates that all categories should be included.

Returns:

iterator of child objects

clone()

Returns a copy of this object with the parent pointer set to None.

A clone is almost equivalent to deepcopy except that any categorized objects encountered that are not descendents of this object will reference the same object on the clone.

collect_ctypes(active=True, descend_into=True)

Returns the set of object category types that can be found under this container.

Parameters:

• active (True/None) – Controls whether or not to filter the iteration to include only the active part of the storage tree. The default is True. Setting this keyword to None causes the active status of objects to be ignored.

• descend_into (bool, function) – Indicates whether or not to descend into a heterogeneous container. Default is True, which is equivalent to lambda x: True, meaning all heterogeneous containers will be descended into.

Returns:

A set of object category types

components(ctype=<class 'pyomo.core.kernel.base._no_ctype'>, active=True, descend_into=True)

Generates an efficient traversal of all components stored under this container. Components are categorized objects that are either (1) not containers, or (2) are heterogeneous containers.

Parameters:

• ctype – Indicates the category of components to include. The default value indicates that all categories should be included.

• active (True/None) – Controls whether or not to filter the iteration to include only the active part of the storage tree. The default is True. Setting this keyword to None causes the active status of objects to be ignored.

• descend_into (bool, function) – Indicates whether or not to descend into a heterogeneous container. Default is True, which is equivalent to lambda x: True, meaning all heterogeneous containers will be descended into.

Returns:

iterator of components in the storage tree

deactivate(shallow=True)

Deactivate this container.

getname(fully_qualified=False, name_buffer={}, convert=<class 'str'>, relative_to=None)

Dynamically generates a name for this object.

Parameters:

• fully_qualified (bool) – Generate a full name by iterating through all ancestor containers. Default is False.

• convert (function) – A function that converts a storage key into a string representation. Default is the built-in function str.

• relative_to (object) – When generating a fully qualified name, generate the name relative to this block.

Returns:

If a parent exists, this method returns a string representing the name of the object in the context of its parent; otherwise (if no parent exists), this method returns None.

load_solution(solution, allow_consistent_values_for_fixed_vars=False, comparison_tolerance_for_fixed_vars=1e-05)

Load a solution.

Parameters:

• solution – A pyomo.opt.Solution object with a symbol map. Optionally, the solution can be tagged with a default variable value (e.g., 0) that will be applied to those variables in the symbol map that do not have a value in the solution.

• allow_consistent_values_for_fixed_vars – Indicates whether a solution can specify consistent values for variables that are fixed.

• comparison_tolerance_for_fixed_vars – The tolerance used to define whether or not a value in the solution is consistent with the value of a fixed variable.

write(filename, format=None, _solver_capability=None, _called_by_solver=False, **kwds)

Write the model to a file, with a given format.

Parameters:

• filename (str) – The name of the file to write.

• format – The file format to use. If this is not specified, the file format will be inferred from the filename suffix.

• **kwds – Additional keyword options passed to the model writer.

Returns:

a SymbolMap
