Can no longer load model libraries

edit

I do not think is Codemeter, else you would not be able to access PSSe. FYI, when accesing EXE or data files in OneDrive, on any python script or Bat file I enclose the whole path including the filename in quotes:

apath = r'c:\   OneDrive..  \filename.txt'

I asked this question a while ago, but now I have an answer to my own question that I would like to share.

Answer

If a .dll that used to load does not load, it is probably because something that the dll depends on has changed. The DLL is not "an island entire of itself" (thanks John Done). It calls on libraries provided by things like the IVF compiler, or the MS Visual Studio. So if one of these things has changed, then the DLL may break as a result.

The next question is, "well, what are the inputs to my dll then?" To answer this you can use the dependencies tool. This is an old tool that has been recreated in a GUI format. You can download it from GitHub https://github.com/lucasg/Dependencies

This tool will show you

• what other dll files the model dll refers to, and where they are located
• what are the functions which are inputs to your dll
• whether they are accessible

If an input function shows up in red then you have found your problem Sorry, I cant give you a screenshot - I don't have enough points.

User defined models are sensitive to version of PSS/E, though mostly working fine with minor revision of PSS/E. Specifically, version 34 had many transformative changes, even in handling number of elements. You may please check specific version of PSS/E with which the said model is successfully tested by the supplier.
