Set bounds not constraint

There is still now way to explicitly use bounds in Opti.
However, 3.6 added the detect_simple_bounds option to nlpsol.
I'm curious what the effect will be on your case when you set it to true.

Thanks a lot for your response. I was not aware of this option and nothing could be found about it on the docs. I tested a couple of options and this is the output:

expand	detect_simple_bounds	time (s)
False	False	~18
False	True	~12
True	False	~12
True	True	~6

If I set both of expand and detect_simple_bounds to True, it becomes 25% faster than pyomo (8 s) 🚀. Thanks again.
