You bring up some interesting ideas here. <br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
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.<br>
