Re: [TRNSYS-users] Using Fortran dll in Trnsys

[David Bradley <bradley@tess-inc.com>]

Marijke,
  Once you have written the Fortran code, you need to compile and
link it to create a DLL. The DLL then gets placed in either

..\Trnsys16\UserLib\ReleaseDLLs
or 
..\Trnsys16\UserLib\DebugDLLs

depending on the mode in which it was compiled. There is no need to tell
the proforma about the DLL because the Studio simply writes an input file
based on the information in the proformas that you have put into the
simulation. The input file will contain a reference to your component's
Type number and when TRNSYS launches, it will go hunting for DLLs
containing that (and other) Type numbers in the \UserLib directory. The
process of creating a DLL is described in the 08-Programmer's Guide
manual. 
Cheers,
 David
