This video shows how the engine works, and how to maximize the perks it offers.
The engine is a tool used to obtain timetables, and to achieve an optimization according to user-defined criteria.
The aim of these processes is to purify the conditions that prevent complete and optimal solutions.
GHC engine is very powerful and, if the solution exists, it will find it. The problem is that it is not always possible to know quickly if the solution exists and the conditions that may prevent the results.
The video offers the general characteristics of the editor.
It shows the different perspectives of the timetable in windows and tabs, display options of the solution, the use of .gri files, and several print formats that can be used: pdf, html and excel.
This video tutorial explains how to modify finished timetables with the editor.
It details some options that allow to modify a finished timetable ensuring its validation; move, create, modify or delete class units.
This video describes how to open and optionally project a result on the planner.
