The AIM file extension refers to a text file related to a program called AIMMS. AIMMS stands for Advanced Integrated Multidimensional Modeling Software. AIM files contain operations models created by the AIMMS modeling language. They are similar to AMB files but saved as ASCII text instead of binary.
AIMMS is an advanced development environment for optimization decision support applications and planning systems. It features a graphical user interface, algebraic modeling language and integrated development environment. The software connects to solvers like KNITRO, MINOS, GUROBI, CPLEX, CBC, SNOPT, CONOPT and IPOPT.
AIM files can be supported by software for Linux and Windows devices. AIMMS software is recommended for managing AIM files. Though other programs can also handle this file type. Text editors like Notepad or DarkStar One can open AIM files if AIMMS is unavailable.
The main issue with AIM files is incorrect associations with unsuitable programs. This causes AIM files to open oddly or have no program assigned. To remedy this, install appropriate software for AIM files. Then associate AIM files with this software. If problems persist, other errors may be causing AIM files to not open.
