[TRNSYS-users] A TYPE calling another TYPE

[Technical Support]

Edward,
  I am not sure that I follow what you are trying to do. The way that
TRNSYS 16 is structured, Fortran code (*.for) files are compiled and
then linked together to form dynamic link libraries (*.dll files). A
Fortran library file (*.lib) is one of the byproducts of the dll linking
procedure. The TRNSYS 16 kernel and standard Types are compiled and
linked together to form the TRNDll.dll. If you want to add more Types to
that *.dll, you have to recreate it (meaning that you have to rebuild
the TRNDll.dll). As Christian pointed out, TRNSYS 16 is designed to look
for and load any *.dll files that it finds in the
..\Trnsys16\UserLib\ReleaseDLLs directory. The external DLLs can have
any number of Types in them so if you have a Type201 that calls Type202,
you could put both Type201.for and Type202.for into the same Fortran
project and create a single DLL from them. As long as the DLL is placed
in the correct directory and as long as both of the Types are exported
correctly (see the 08-Programmer's Guide manual for detailed
instructions) your components should be accessible from the TRNDll.dll
without having to rebuild TRNDll.dll.
Kind regards,
 David
