OptWorks is a suite of eight optimization algorithms designed to solve complex problems from financial analysis, logistics management, engineering, scientific analysis, and strategic investment planning. Tired of looking for optimum solutions to your Excel-based problems by hand? Is Excel's standard Solver not working for you due to the presence of multiple "suboptimal" solutions or many discrete variables? The powerful Genetic Algorithm and Simulated Annealing engines in OptWorks are for you.

OptWorks: Excel® is an add-in product for Microsoft® Excel®. Windows and Mac OS X versions are currently available. OptWorks: Excel® can be purchased for the reduced price of $29.99 (electronic product download). Boxed versions are now $129.99.
