Project Description
The ExternalMedia library allows to use external fluid property computation code in a simple and efficient way. It provides an interface that is 100% compatible with the Modelica.Media medium interface so that external fluid property computation codes can easily be tested in existing projects using Modelica.Media.
The presentation about the ExternalMedia library from the 6th International Modelica Conference is available here.
Installation
In order to run the ExternalMedia library please download and install FluidProp, a software for the calculation of thermophysical properties of fluids, first. You can get the latest version from: http://fluidprop.tudelft.nl/ (Please ensure that you get at least version 2.3 build 44).
Download the ExternalMedia library from this website and unzip it to your Modelica path. Make sure that you either have the Modelica Standard Library version 2.2.2 or 3.0 since the ExternalMedia library is only going to work with these two versions.
Copy the .dll-file to your Windows/system32 folder, the .lib-file to the library path of your Modelica tool, and the .h-file to the source folder of your Modelica tool.
You should be able to run the ExternalMedia library now! Please make sure that you use the Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 compiler when compiling your models since the ExternalMedia library was built using that compiler. You can get a free version of the compiler from the Microsoft website (http://www.microsoft.com/express/2005).
