Are there any good books that teach how to work with OPL in CPLEX? I searched but I didn't find any.

2$\begingroup$ When you say "teach CPLEX" what do you mean? Do you mean the modelling language OPL or more generally how to use CPLEX from several different API's? $\endgroup$– SuneMay 25, 2021 at 6:13

$\begingroup$ @Sune I mean OPL. $\endgroup$– EmadMay 25, 2021 at 6:16

$\begingroup$ then you should probably edit your question to reflect this, as it would probably lead more qualified answers. $\endgroup$– SuneMay 25, 2021 at 6:19

There are many useful references that can be found by googling. In the following you can find some of them:
- IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio OPL Language User’s Manual
- Introduction to Computational Optimization Models for Production Planning in a Supply Chain
- A Deep Dive into Strategic Network Design
PS: About the first mentioned reference, it is about (V-12.8) that I knew the last version is 20.1. I hope they will be helpful.
There is a rather helpful list of educational resources specific to IBM Decision Optimization products here. If you scroll down a bit, you will find links to some YouTube videos about optimization modeling using OPL (and the CPLEX Studio IDE).
I recommand the Model Building Book by Williams and here you may see the examples in OPL.
Let me add some OPL links:
Here is a book that Pete Cacioppi wrote to teach OPL and optimization as it relates to network design models. It was meant for beginners. It uses a network design problem as the example, but you don't need to get the Supply Chain Network Design book to use this one.

$\begingroup$ Thanks. But somebody else mentioned this book before. $\endgroup$– EmadJun 3, 2021 at 4:22

$\begingroup$ @Emad. Whoops. Good catch. Sorry about that. Hopefully, I added a little bit of context :-) $\endgroup$ Jun 3, 2021 at 15:43
