SMathStudio Wrapper¶
Pre-compiled Binaries¶
To Use¶
Pre-compiled binaries can be downloaded from SMath. Development binaries coming from the buildbot server can be found at SMath.
Extract the files in the .7z file using 7-zip. Run the install.bat file in the zip file to copy the files to the right location. It will make the installed version of CoolProp the default CoolProp in SMath.
User-Compiled Binaries¶
Common Requirements¶
Compilation of the SMath Studio wrapper requires a few common wrapper pre-requisites
Native Wrapper¶
Check out coolprop:
git clone https://github.com/CoolProp/CoolProp --recursive
Create a build directory
build
:mkdir build
In the
build
directory, run the command:cmake .. -DCOOLPROP_SMATH_MODULE=ON
This will inject the version number in the appropriate format into a few template files using CMake
Open the solution file in
build
directory.Make sure the mode is set to Release (not Debug). Build the project, the generated and copied files will be in
build/wrappers/SMath/coolprop_wrapper/bin/Release
.From the download page, download the 64-bit DLL
CoolProp.dll
file fromWindows/64bit
folder and rename toCoolProp_x64.dll
and place with the files inbuild/wrappers/SMath/coolprop_wrapper/bin/Release
. Download the 32-bit__stdcall
DLLCoolProp.dll
fromWindows/32bit__stdcall_calling_convention
and rename toCoolProp_x86.dll
and place with the files inbuild/wrappers/SMath/coolprop_wrapper/bin/Release
.Run the
build_zip.bat
file that is in thebuild/wrappers/SMath
folder. It will create a zip file with the needed files.To install, unzip the
coolprop_wrapper.7z
zip file and run theinstall.bat
script that was in the zip file
Old Method¶
There are two ways to link CoolProp and SMathStudio : Remark: I used the first one, the second one isn’t quite clear to me.
1) The easiest way is to download and install the portable SMath Studio distribution with Maxima, CoolProp and many other plugins : http://smath.info/wiki/%28S%28p1gq0245uny440554qdivzik%29%29/SMath%20with%20Plugins.ashx
2) To link CoolProp to SMathStudio_Desktop follow the identical instructions as given below for MathCAD 15 : http://en.smath.info/forum/yaf_postst2568_CoolProp.aspx#post13310
Notes : - In October 2014 SMath Studio with CoolProp worked on Windows only. - The portable SMath Studio distribution is provided on the SMath Studio site, however so far it’s indicated as unofficial (October 2014)
