General Information

The folder <FluidProp folder>\ Sample Clients contains examples of client programs for the following programs or development environments:

  1. The Mathworks Matlab Release 13 and 14

  2. Microsoft Visual Basic 6

  3. Intel Visual Fortran 9.0

  4. Microsoft Visual C++ 6

  5. Borland C++ Builder 6.0

  6. Microsoft Excel (2000, XP, ...)

  7. Maple 9

In all examples the same calculations are executed. The Visual Basic and C++ Builder examples are applications based on MS-Windows scrollable windows, while the Fortran, Visual C++ and Borland C++ client are just console applications. Once FluidProp is installed properly, you can run all the executables.

In order to adapt or extend an example you must have the corresponding programming system and open the enclosed project file.

In order to use C++ Builder as we did, special installation steps should be accomplished. See the Readme.txt file in the C++ Builder folder.

For the C++ examples the names of the source files are the same. However, the contents of the files are slightly different. This mainly has to do with the different way in which specific libraries available in the different programming environments handle string variables. Nevertheless, methods have been added in each example, so that FluidProp can be used in the same way.
