[TRNSYS-users] Refining Trnsed applications

[David BRADLEY]

Antoine,
   You bring up some interesting ideas here.

First, the Studio plugin technology is not implemented in TRNSED; the 
Studio plugin corresponds between the plugin and the proforma and TRNSED 
doesn't use the proformas at all. As a result, you need to modify your 
GUI to use it with TRNSED. We've done this with the various components 
in the TESS Applications library.

Second, there is a way of launching plugins (not Studio plugins, mind 
you) but any *.exe really from TRNSED. Look at sections 6.10.5 and 
6.10.7 of the TRNEdit documentation. You can also look at section 
6.12.1.7; it explains a command called APPLINK that while technically 
obsolete, is still implemented in Trnsys17.

Best,
  David
