[TRNSYS-users] Coupling error: MATLAB R2009b with TRNSYS 17.00.0016

[Matt Duffy]

Dear Peter,

To the best of my knowledge, I believe there was an update to that DLL (in
the ".\EXE\DLLs\Type155" directory) for TRNSYS version 17.00.0018. Please
note that the current version is 17.00.0019, so please email your TRNSYS
distributor to obtain the latest.

Best regards,

Matt Duffy

Subject:[TRNSYS-users] Coupling error: MATLAB R2009b with TRNSYS 17.00.0016


Hi,

I have a question about the coupling of MATLAB R2009b (32-bit) with TRNSYS
17.

I tried testing the link between the two with the "Calling Matlab" example
found in
the folder "Trnsys17\Examples\Calling_Matlab".

According to the instructions I must ensure that the MATLAB folder in the
Windows
Search Path is, I did this through Configuration Panel -> System ->
Advanced System
Settings -> Advanced -> Environment Variables adding the text "C:\Program
Files\MATLAB\R2009b\bin\win32 " to System Variable "Path".
Next, I ensured that I use for the specific Type155.dll MATLAB version. I
did this
through extracting the DLL in the zip file "Trnsys17\EXE\DLLs\Type155
(forMatlab2009b)-CVF.zip"  to "Trnsys17\Exe" and the overwriting the old
Type155.dll
(for MATLAB R2006). According to the description this would be sufficient.



To be sure I also copied the files libeng.lib, libmat.lib, and libmex.lib
libmx.lib
from "C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2009b\external\lib\win32\microsoft" to
"C:\Trnsys17\SourceCode\Optional".



However, I continue to the error "One error was found in the deck. Check
the listing
file for more information!" get. When I look in the log, I find a fatal
error with
description "Your input file uses Type 155 (Calling Matlab). "Type155.dll"
was found
but could not be loaded. Please make sure that a supported version of
Matlab is
installed and that Matlab's "bin\win32" folder is on Windows' search path".



Now I searched the internet for a solution, and I came across something about
recompiling TRNSYS with the Compaq Visual Fortran Compiler:
http://sel.me.wisc.edu/trnsys/trnlib/trnsys-matlab/type155-manual.html
This explanation, however, is based on TRNSYS 15 and I am not sure if it's
needed
for TRNSYS 17.



Could someone tell me the proper way to link MATLAB & TRNSYS for the
versions
mentioned in the subject?



Thanks in advance,
