integration of PSCAD 4.2.1 to Matlab R2008a

[pink.panther]

Dear All,
After the support of this forum now I am able to simulate cases with the following software configuration:
1. PSCAD v4.2.1 student version
2. Intel Visual Fortran Compiler v9.1.
3. MS Visual Studio .NET 2005 (MS Visual Studio v8)
4. Windows XP
But Unfortunately, When trying to integrate PSCAD to Matlab R2008a, I get the following error:
Linking tutti.exe
emtdc.lib(mlab_Int.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _MXCALLOC@8 referenced in function _SETWSVARIABLES

NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 8\vc\bin\link.exe"' : return code '0x460'
Stop.


My suggestions for the problem are:
1. The versions of software do not match with each other
2. The softwares have some error that can not be identified so easily.
Does anyone who faced with similar problem ? Any help, any suggestion would be so grateful for my work.

Best Regards,
Pp

Hi，

Yes, the version of Matlab is too high, and it cannot match withthat of pacad. If you hope to interface the pscadwith matlab, you must make sure your matlab version to be 6.5 or lower.

Matlab 7.0 is ok

With PSCAD 4.2.1, you can use a version of Matlab upto R2008b. I am guessing you have not done one of the the following:

1) Select "link this simulation with the currently installed Matlab libraries" in project settings.

2) Enter the correct path in "library path" under matlab in Workspace settings. Select the installed version as version 5, which gives you the option of entering the matlab library path explicitly. Should be like ......Matlab\R2008a\extern\lib\win32\microsoft.

Hi,
I have the same problem, but I am using Matlab Version R2009b with PSCAD4.2.1. Although I have done these works :
1) Select "link this simulation with the currently installed Matlab libraries" in project settings.

2) Enter the correct path in "library path" under matlab in Workspace settings. Select the installed version as version 5, which gives you the option of entering the matlab library path explicitly. Should be like ......Matlab\R2009b\extern\lib\win32\microsoft.

again I get the message like:

emtdc.lib(Mlab_Int.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _ENGGETFULL@28

emtdc.lib(Mlab_Int.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _ENGPUTFULL@28

TEST3.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 2 unresolved externals
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'link.exe' : return code '0x460'
...

Do you think thats because of high version of Matlab I use?
Thanks in advance because of your help.

Best,
SM

Dear Rohitha,

Are you sure it supports Matlab up to R2008b? Have you ever tried it?

Thanks a bunch ^^
