I got stuck while solving a problem with Ipopt, showing EXIT: Maximum Number of Iterations Exceeded.
Its maximum number of iterations is 3000, how can I increase the maximum number of iterations？？？

How are you using Ipopt? Which package do you use?
Did you try:
```julia
using JuMP, Ipopt
model = Model(Ipopt.Optimizer)
set_optimizer_attribute(model, "max_iter", 6000)
```
I mean, reading the documentation helps: [https://github.com/jump-dev/Ipopt.jl](https://github.com/jump-dev/Ipopt.jl)
