This document compares the features and capabilities of three different versions of an analytic solver product: the Analytic Solver Basic, Analytic Solver Upgrade, and the full sized Analytic Solver products. The basic version has limited size capabilities for optimization and no plug-in solver engines. The upgrade version expands the size limits for optimization but not simulation or data mining. The full sized products have unlimited size capabilities for their primary usage, with basic capabilities for other usages.
