Description

Program to calculate the position of a membrane pushed up through a
(rectangular) hole in a rigid plate; in addition, there are rigid
obstacle(s) inside the hole (perhaps not at the same level as the plate).
These obstacles can constrain the membrane from above or from below.

The correct position of the membrane (the position of minimum energy) is
determined by the minimization of a quadratic function of the membrane
position, subject to the constraints imposed by the hole and the obstacle.
The MCP below arises from the optimality conditions for this QP.

The MCP is solved for multiple force constants c using GUSS and
GAMSModelInstance. This is the first model in the library of this
model type that is solved this way.
