Hi Krishnan Yes, absolutely. You can write external solvers, external integrators, external functions (relations) and external methods in C or Fortran and interface them with ASCEND using "IMPORT" statements in the model code. There is also limited support for writing external methods using Python.
External code that we currently harness includes the IDA integrator (C code), LSODE integrator (Fortran), an eigenvalue solver (using scipy via Python code), FPROPS (my C code Helmholtz evaluator) and freesteam (IAPWS-IF97 steam properties in C/C++). These are all documented in the Wiki. Cheers JP Krishnan Chittur wrote: > John ...
