Re: [TRNSYS-users] Using TRNOPT with 64-bit TRNSYS install



Thanks David,

It looks like the TESS DLLs do have _64 appended to all (except for "TESSArchiveDLL_v17.2.01_Release.dll"). TRNOPT is indeed TRNOPT17.exe though, so perhaps that was just a mistake for that one library when putting together the packages for the libraries we had selected.

Brandon,

 The TESSLibs release that goes with Trnsys18 normally has a TrnOpt18.exe in it, which is set up to work with the 64-bit Trnsys18. It sounds as though you might be using an older TESSLibs release or one that is intended for the 32-bit version of Trnsys18. It might be worth checking in your .\Trnsys18\UserLib\ReleaseDLLs\ directory to make sure that all of the TESS Library dlls that are contained therein have "_64" in the file name. If they don't then please email me and I will get you access to the libs that are compatible with 64-bit v18.

kind regards,

 David

I was attempting to use the optimization library which utilizes GenOpt along with my 64-bit installation of TRNSYS18.  I have configured the TRNOPT17.exe program for the correct directories, then set up the optimization details as desired. 

However, when I hit "Run Optimization" GenOpt terminates with an error.  Looking at the GenOpt window, it is clear that the error is caused by the command string attempting to run "TrnEXE.exe" instead of "TrnEXE64.exe".  

The TRNSYS17.cfg file that is created by TRNOPT17.exe in the ./Optimization/GenOpt/Simulation/ folder prior to the run is the source of this incorrect reference. This file is automatically generated when you hit "Run Optimization" within TRNOPT17.exe prior to calling GenOpt.

If you edit that .cfg file to point to "TrnEXE64.exe" correctly, you can start the optimization by clicking on "File" -> "Start" in WinGenOpt and selecting the TRNSYS17.ini 

This is more of a bug-report and advice for others who may run into this issue than a request for help, as I've found a workaround. Please consider updating TRNOPT17.exe to correctly build the GenOpt files for a 64-bit TRNSYS install.

Thanks,
-Brandon
