## Printing the optimization model
There is a command for printing the optimization problem passed over to the LP solver. The format of the problem is in a standard LP formulation which can be read into the standalone version of the solver. The option is useful for debugging and for testing other optimization algorithms and parameter options.
```
print model <filename.lp>
```

The command will only print the LP problem solved in the very next iteration, so the command cannot be given after the last start sim command.
