Input files

In order to run the investment optimization module, the Antares dataset must be enriched with at least two new files:

• A candidates.ini file which contains the definition of investment candidates (which capacities of the Antares study are expandable? at what cost? with what limits? and so on),
• A settings.ini file which contains the settings of the Antares Xpansion algorithm.

These two files must be located in the user/expansion/ directory of the Antares study. The data they contain are neither visible nor modifiable in Antares Web, which is Antares user interface. These two files must therefore be handcrafted or manipulated with Antares Craft.
