[TRNSYS-users] Matlab with TRNSYS 16_1

[Diego Alejandro Arias]

Hi Paul,
I think that the problem that you are experiencing is that the  
libraries that allow Matlab to be called from an external dll are  
updated with each Matlab release.  Please try the following:
- In the directory \Trnsys16_01\SourceCode\Optional, you will find the  
files libeng.lib, libmat.lib, libmex.lib and libmx.lib.  Those files  
come from the Matlab installation.
- Search in your Matlab installation for these files. (I do not have  
Matlab on this machine, so I cannot guide you to the exact location).  
Copy them, and paste them to the directory  
'\Trnsys16_01\SourceCode\Optional'
- Recompile Type155.

Please let me know if this solution works for you, or if you have  
problems recompiling Type155.
Cheers,

Diego
