GAMS Alternatives

GAMS is described as 'The General Algebraic Modeling System (GAMS) is a high-level modeling system for mathematical optimization. GAMS is designed for modeling and solving linear, nonlinear, and mixed-integer optimization problems' and is an app. There are more than 10 alternatives to GAMS for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Linux, Mac, Web-based and Chrome OS apps. The best GAMS alternative is Xcos, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like GAMS are Simulink, OpenModelica, Minsky and BMS.
