Re: [TRNSYS-users] sim studio: direct access
David,
In our office, we are 3 users involved in simulation with TRNSYS 16 and
want to share our TRNSYS models through shared directories on our
server: it's not so easy to do it because of the proformas that had to
be saved in the Studio/Proformas directory of the installation
directory, on the local machine, in order to be viewed in the Direct
access tree. Of course we can use the "insert tree" function but it
might be useful to manage a list of "based library folder" (from the
Settings) to add user's defined components in a network shared folder.
Something like:
based library folder:
"%TRNSYS16%\Studio\Proformas";"\\MyServer\TRNdir\UserProformas";etc...
Your suggestion seems a good one to me (but I am not the one programming
the Studio!). As a workaround, you could also just put the whole TRNSYS
installation on a network drive. With external DLL's, it is easy to
organize your files so that the 3 users can use each other's components
without touching them when they recompile a DLL. I must admit that we
haven't tested that configuration recently here at the lab but I know
users have done that in the past with TRNSYS 15 without any problems,
and the multi-DLL architecture makes it even more interesting.
Simulations might be a little slower depending on your network speed
but, again according to my limited experience with that implementation,
it should be OK.
Kind regards,
Michaël Kummert
