(b) generate layout alternatives using MULROW (MULROW layout software can be downloaded from Canvas) (three algorithms: 2 opt, 3 opt, and simulated annealing). (c) comment on the quality of the different solutions obtained compared to the QAP lower bound.

Installing the license will require you to do the following: 1) in PlanOpt click "License" 2) then click "Authorize", on the Authorize screen click the Authorize" button to browse to the license file you have saved on your computer - the procedure for doing this in in the PC or MAC specific RDP instructions. 3) PlanOrt should now show "Licensed to University of Missouri-Columbia, IE, Columbia, USA on the top 4.
