[TRNSYS-users] Matlab - Trnsys coupling

[David BRADLEY via TRNSYS-users]

Jean-Christophe,

   In the case of Matlab and Type155, the dll needs to be in the 
..\TrnsysXX\Exe\ directory instead of in the 
..\TrnsysXX\UserLib\ReleaseDLLs\ directory.

   Also, the Type155.dll has to be the one compiled for the version of 
Matlab that you are using (in your case R2013b). I will send you the 
Type155.dll file for Matlab2013b in a second email. However, I caution 
that this dll was never tested with Trnsys16, only with Trnsys17 (which 
was released in 2009). I cannot be sure whether it will work or not. If 
it doesn't I am afraid that there isn't much else that I can offer; 
support for Trnsys16 was discontinued a year after the release of v17.

kind regards,

  David
