granularity

The specified granularity indicates the acceptable precision for the variable's value with respect to decision-making. If the granularity is 0 then no rounding will be applied when evaluating the variable. Granularity defines the level of precision for an input variable to which the problem will be solved. Setting granularity to 0, the default, means that the solver will attempt to find a solution to the level of machine precision. For any positive granularity value, the solution will be found to some multiple of that granularity. As a special case, setting granularity to 1 implies an integer-ordered input variable. The specification of granularity reflects a reality for the decision maker that there is a level of precision beyond which it is not practical to implement a solution.
