Language and Compiling

You can submit your subroutines as any of the following types of files:

To find out what type of compiler you need, read the hardware and software specifications that come with your Adams product (you can also see them at http://support.mscsoftware.com). Also, for further instructions, refer to your compiler documentation and the hardware and software specifications.

You can either let Adams Toolbar run your compiler by supplying source files, or you can compile and link your subroutines on your own and create object files. We recommend, however, that you let Adams Toolbar run your compiler since there is less chance for errors. It also ensures that the correct compile flags are set so that your files are compiled and linked using the same options that were used for Adams product code. We also recommend that you purchase a debugger.

To view the list of compiler options valid on your platform, use the following command:

You can input C or FORTRAN source files to create Adams Solver user libraries and only C source files to create Adams View user libraries. You must use the following C and FORTRAN compiler command and options for your user subroutines. The options are explained in the table shown below.

For FORTRAN, the command and options are:

For C, the command and options are:

The linking procedure allows you to supply FORTRAN or C files (depending on the Adams product).
