CoolProp Wrapper for Legacy Mathcad (32-bit) - Discontinued¶

By Scott Polak and Ian Bell, 2013.

Updated by Jeff Henning, 2016.

Pre-compiled binaries (up to CoolProp v6.4.1)¶

Pre-compiled binaries can be downloaded from MathCAD15. These binaries are no longer generated as of CoolProp version 6.4.2 and there are no nightly builds. If you have a perpetual Legacy Mathcad license, you can attempt to build your own User-Compiled Binary using the instructions further below.

To Use¶

Copy CoolPropMathcadWrapper.dll to C:\Program Files (x86)\Mathcad\Mathcad 15\userefi
Copy CoolProp_EN.xml to C:\Program Files (x86)\Mathcad\Mathcad 15\doc\funcdoc
Open the CoolPropFluidProperties.xmcdz file in Mathcad, all CoolProp functions should evaluate properly. If not, press <Ctrl>-F9 to force recalculation of the entire workbook.
CoolProp functions can be inserted from the Mathcad Insert Functions panel under the function category: CoolProp. Input parameters and a brief description of each function will be shown.

User-compiled binaries¶

Common Requirements¶

Compilation of the Legacy Mathcad wrapper requires a few common wrapper pre-requisites
You will need to have Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 or later installed (Express or Community version is fine).

To Build¶

Recursively clone the CoolProp library to a local repository.:

git clone https://github.com/CoolProp/CoolProp --recursive

Change directory (cd) to the CoolProp directory you just created:
```
cd CoolProp
```
Go to the top level CoolProp directory and make a build directory** (something like build15):
```
mkdir build15
cd build15
```

Build the makefile using CMake (Note: Mathcad 15 is 32-bit!):

cmake .. -DCOOLPROP_MATHCAD15_MODULE=ON
         -DCOOLPROP_MATHCAD15_ROOT="C:/Program Files (x86)/Mathcad/Mathcad 15"
         -G "Visual Studio 10 2010"
         -DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=ON

Make the dynamic library (DLL):
```
cmake --build . --config Release
```

To Use¶

Copy CoolProp\build15\Release\CoolPropMathcadWrapper.dll to C:\Program Files (x86)\Mathcad\Mathcad 15\userefi
Copy CoolProp\wrapper\Mathcad\CoolProp_EN.xml to C:\Program Files (x86)\Mathcad\Mathcad 15\doc\funcdoc
Open the CoolPropFluidProperties.xmcdz file in Legacy Mathcad, all CoolProp functions should evaluate properly. If not, press <Ctrl>-F9 to force recalculation of the entire workbook.
CoolProp functions can be inserted from the Mathcad Insert Functions panel under the function category: CoolProp. Input parameters and a brief description of each function will be shown.
