Nicolas, It depends a bit on what version of TRNSYS you are using. If you are using v18 then there is a built-in Fortran compiler and you should be able to take the source code file (which is just a text file with a different extension), compile it and make a dll. If you are using an earlier TRNSYS version then it is a bit more complicated and you will need to have access to a Fortran compiler. The Intel Fortran compiler plugs into the same Visual Studio that already contains your C++ compiler. kind regards, David

Hello everyone, I would like to know how to add a component from the TRNLIB library to TRNSYS. The TRNLIB library is mostly only providing the fortran source code and a component description in .txt format. However, to get to use a component, one also needs the proforma file, the project file and to create (to "build") a DLL, linking the component to TRNSYS. To create my own components, I actually use the "new component" interface in TRNSYS, export the component in C++ format and complete the source code via Visual Studio. I guess that there is some easy way to generate the proforma/DLL/project file by compiling the Fortran code, but I am not so gifted when it comes to computer science. Can someone please give me hints on how to use the TRNLIB components ? The software to use ? Thank you very much and have a nice day ! -- *************************** David BRADLEY Principal Thermal Energy Systems Specialists, LLC 3 North Pinckney Street - suite 202 Madison, WI 53703 USA P:+1.608.274.2577 F:+1.608.278.1475 d.bradley@tess-inc.com http://www.tess-inc.com http://www.trnsys.com |
