Please read the first post of [Please read: make it easier to help you](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/psa-make-it-easier-to-help-you/14757).

If you can provide a simple example that reproduces the issue, it’ll be a lot easier to provide advice.

Try computing a feasible point via a different method (e.g., by hand), and then using the `start` keyword in `@variable`:

```nohighlight
model = Model(with_optimizer(Ipopt.Optimizer))
@variable(model, x, start = 1.23

```

or `set_start_value`:

```nohighlight
model = Model(with_optimizer(Ipopt.Optimizer))
@variable(model, x)
set_start_value(x, 1.23)

```
