Hello

I will appreciate if someone can help with the meaning of this code:
ERROR: Solver (asl) returned non-zero return code (3221226505)

Hello. It would help to see how this happened; for example, which modeling language, what model you used, preceding output, etc. From the information you gave it seems that the ASL interface, which takes care of computing objective function, constraint violation, Hessian, etc., of the nonlinear problem has failed. This does not seem connected to Couenne but rather to ASL, which is one of the libraries used by Couenne.   Hope this helps.   Regards, Pietro   Sent: Wednesday, September 09, 2020 at 6:56 PM From: "d568-ubi" <[email protected]> To: "coin-or/Couenne" <[email protected]> Cc: "Subscribed" <[email protected]> Subject: [coin-or/Couenne] ERROR: Solver (asl) returned non-zero return code (3221226505) (#48)   Hello I will appreciate if someone can help with the meaning of this code: ERROR: Solver (asl) returned non-zero return code (3221226505) best regards MCoimbra — You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

Hi Pietro

Thank you so much for the answer.

I'm modeling with pyomo and using couenne as a solver for power system analysis. The problem is a MINLP. Couenne is solving 5 bus system but not 118 bus system. Ipopt solver is solving both problems (5 and 118 bus) but it can not handle binary variables as it is for NLP problems. So, I thought the problem could be with couenne as the objective and constraints seems to be right, perhaps.

There is a troubleshooting table that defines the code meaning?

Regards

Hi, indeed if the problem has binary variables then Ipopt doesn't return a feasible (integer) solution while Couenne can. Couenne uses Ipopt as a NLP solver when looking for feasible solutions. I'm not sure about the size of the problem but given that you go from 5 to 118 (Couenne being unable to solve the latter) it's probably a memory issue, or an error that is not encountered by standalone Ipopt but rather by Ipopt when used by Couenne. I am not aware of any troubleshooting table for those error codes, which again are generated by the Ampl Solver Library (ASL) and not Couenne.   Regards, Pietro     Sent: Wednesday, September 09, 2020 at 9:35 PM From: "d568-ubi" <[email protected]> To: "coin-or/Couenne" <[email protected]> Cc: "Pietro Belotti" <[email protected]>, "Comment" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [coin-or/Couenne] ERROR: Solver (asl) returned non-zero return code (3221226505) (#48)   Hello.

Ok, thank you again Pietro.

I appreciate your quick response and advice.

Hi,

In case this could be useful to anyone: I am getting the same error using pyomo and octeract (using ipopt under the hood) to solve a NLP problem. This error arises whenever I let an uncompleted line in the octeract option file.

e.g. :
having in the option file:
MAX_SOLVER_TIME =
instead of
MAX_SOLVER_TIME = 20
will return the error in question.
