The function IlcAllMinDistance creates and returns a constraint. When that constraint is posted, it insures that the absolute distance between any pair of variables in the array vars will be greater than or equal to k. This function is for use during a Solver search, for example, inside a goal (an instance of IlcGoal) or inside a constraint (an instance of IlcConstraint). If you are looking for similar functionality for use in an Concert Technology model, consider IloAllMinDistance documented in the Concert API.

If you do not explicitly state a filter level, then Solver uses the default filter level for this constraint (that is, IlcBasic). The optional argument level can take one of the two values: IlcBasic or IlcExtended. The domain reduction during propagation depends on the value of level. See IlcFilterLevel for an explanation of filter levels and their effect on constraint propagation.

IlcBasic

IlcBasic is the lowest value.

IlcExtended

IlcExtended causes more domain reduction than IlcBasic; it also takes longer to run.
