Running SAM generated MATLAB Model was created by Alfred
I am trying to run a Linear Fresnel Model for direct steam generation.
I have  generated the MATLAB code using generate code(GC) option.
However, when I try to run the GC via MATLAB on a System without SAM installed  on it I get the following error.
 Error in DSteam_Linear_Fresnel22/ssccall (line 8)
        loadlibrary(strcat(ssclibpath,ssclib),strcat(ssclibpath,'sscapi.h'));

 Error in DSteam_Linear_Fresnel22/ssccall (line 208)
ssccall('load');
I tried setting MATLAB environment so it can  recognize the path containing the SSC MATLAB files and libraries.
So my question is can I use the GC on any PC/Laptop via MATLAB without Installing a SAM version.
I have attached the file as well.
Thanks

Hi Alfred,

SAM's code generator should create all of the files you need to run simulations using the SSC API on a computer even if SAM is not installed on that computer.

Please be sure to keep all of the files created by the code generator together in the same folder.

Also, please be aware of the issue described here:

Best regards,
Paul.

Hi Paul,
Thanks for your reply.
I ensured all files generated from the code gen (sscapi.h, ssc.dll and matlab files are in the same folder).
Nevertheless, I keep getting the stated error when running the code on a PC without SAM installed but it works on the other with SAM installed.
However, according to your reply I should be able to run Simulations even without SAM.
So I do you have any idea as to why I can't or any suggestions?
I checked out the link but I seem to face a different issue to that address in the link.
Regards,
Alfred

Hi Paul,
Fortunately I have figured the problem. MATLAB wasn't equipped with C/C++ Compiler.
I  just installed MinGW-w64  compiler suite for Windows (Third party software for MATLAB).
The MATLAB GC works well regardless of a SAM installation.
Thank you very much for your help and response as always.
Best Regards,
Alfred
