Pre-compiled binaries¶

Pre-compiled binaries can be downloaded from MathcadPrime. Development binaries coming from the buildbot server can be found at MathcadPrime.

To Use¶

Copy CoolPropMathcadWrapper.dll file to C:\Program Files\PTC\Mathcad Prime 7.0.0.0\Custom Functions; where x.0.0.0 is the Mathcad Prime version being used.
Open the CoolPropFluidProperties.xmcd file in Mathcad Prime, all CoolProp functions should evaluate properly. If not, press <Ctrl>-F5 to force recalculation of the entire workbook.

User-compiled binaries¶

Common Requirements¶

Compilation of the Mathcad Prime wrapper requires a few common wrapper pre-requisites
You will need to have Visual Studio 2015 or later installed. You will need the professional or community version of Visual Studio C++, or at least Visual Studio Express 2015 or later, as Mathcad Prime libraries are 64-bit and require the 64-bit compiler.

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 buildprime):
```
mkdir buildprime
cd buildprime
```

Build the makefile using CMake (adjust root string for correct version of Prime):

cmake .. -DCOOLPROP_PRIME_MODULE=ON
         -DCOOLPROP_PRIME_ROOT="C:/Program Files/PTC/Mathcad Prime 7.0.0.0"
         -G "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64"
         -DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=ON

( *Note: Mathcad Prime is 64-bit, so the 'Win64' option is necessary in the Visual Studio string.* )

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

To Use¶

Copy CoolProp\buildprime\Release\CoolPropMathcadWrapper.dll file to C:\Program Files\PTC\Mathcad Prime 7.0.0.0\Custom Functions (or your current version)
Open the CoolPropFluidProperties.xmcd file in Mathcad Prime, all CoolProp functions should evaluate properly. If not, press <Ctrl>-F5 to force recalculation of the entire workbook.
