difference between "optimization study node" and "optimization module" for an optimization problem

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi!

Seems an optimization problem can be performed by either "optimization study node" or "optimization module".

If use "optimization study node", the available optimization solvers include SNOPT and Levernberg-Marquardt

while if use "optimization module", then the available optimization solvers are Nelder Mead solver, Coordinate Search, Monte Caro.

What is the difference of above two approach? And how the two different set of solvers are related?
Thanks a lot in advance!
