I don't like scripting languages​ because their debug is uncomfortable to me. That's how I debug Fortran program running in Mathcad. It's easy and without intermediaries.

yes, seems a neat way to work but I was meaning a way to call fortran libraries from within SMath thanks to Python (Ironpython ? ). The idea would be access the old good Fortran without daring to touch his spaghettian idiosyncrasy. This article mentioned in my prior post has good appoints about this approach:

I don't know if you plan some debug capabilities for scripting in your xyplot plugin.

Try this assembly with the 32BIT flag.

This works. What is the drawback of using the modified SMathStudio_Desktop.exe? I guess there is no free lunch...

Didn't dig through the special functions from mathlib, also did not guess all the units implied in Steamtables. Still made some doc pages for the plugin and the two example libraries, based on the material supplied by uni in post #1

This means that the program runs as a 32-bit process. If any part of it can't work that way, it will lead to an error when loading. Most plug-ins can run in both modes. This is a free lunch for now.

First of all, thank you guys for finding a way to get old (efi) Mathcad plugins working. I have now managed to load WaterSteamPro in SMath Studio under Windows 7 X64. That's a good start.

Now for the questions:
Is there a way to load reference files in SMath - specifically I am trying to load watersteampro.xmcd, the file which gives units to all the functions in WaterSteamPro?

And an unrelated question:
Is SMath Studio able to use functions provided by a COM server such as FluidProp (http://www.asimptote.com/software/fluidprop)?

You can use include() function for this purpose. But the xmcd-file has to be rewritten by hand.

I think there is no direct path for that.

Hi uni,

Thanks for the info. Maybe eventually I'll get around to rewriting the WaterSteamPro conversions file; for today I'll just stick with using X-Steam.

Hi Uni.

I'm trying to use portable version of SMath on a computer with windows xp with no kind of mathcad installed. SMath can't load mcaduser, please see the picture below:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/650ild4jpd2pahc/erro.bmp

It's necessary to install mathcad, so Smath can load the mcaduser.dll ?

Henrique.

Mathcad is not needed. mcaduser.dll - this is my version of the library. This plug-in can work only in 32-bit environment, so if you use 64-bit environment, you need a special version of the executable file SMathStudio_Desktop.exe. You can remove the plug-in and the error should disappear (it is not clear what you need).

I'm using Windows XP 32bit. Actually, I'm a MathCad user and I'm learning to use the SMath. Just an example is when I was using the "round" command, as I did in MathCad, appeared this error about unable to load the mcaduser.dll.
As I found your post about the dll problem I decided to ask.

Ok. The last version is 1.0.4977.35617 (Registered Extensions). Show me the log file from the plugin directory: \userefi\efi.txt. Then, try to use new version. You can update it from the Smath Studio.

Ok, uni. There it is the log file:

efi.txt (6 KiB) downloaded 94 time(s).

Try to replace the files. They can be taken from this archive: EFI for SMath Studio. You need to delete all files in the plugin folder and copy the file mcadefi.dll.

By the way, PTC has restored support for this interface in new Mathcad Prime 3.0.

There is only one file, mcadefi.dll. Is that right ?

Yes, that's right. It contains all others. They will unpacked when SMath Studio is launched.

Didn't work. There it is the log file:

Could you try the regular version (not portable)? Nightly build: SMath Studio 0.96.4909 (10 June 2013)
In this case you can install the plugin from the Gallery.

Yes. With the regular version worked! Without the EFI Plugin. I can use round() normally.

Thank you very much.

SMathStudio_Desktop_0.97.5154_32bit.zip

Mathcad EFI plugin and Matlab C++ Math Library now available.

Hi Uni

this is just to know if is now possible to run the Steamtables for MathCad after the updateing of the Mathcad EFI Plugin

Best regards
