How to use the C code generated from Real time Workshop in Visual Studio?

I have created a very simple add model which takes two constants and returns their sum. Then I generated the C code using Real Time Workshop with grt.tlc as the target by referring to the following link "http://blogs.abo.fi/alexeevpetr/2011/11/18/simplified-building-simulink-generated-c-code-in-visual-studio/ ". I now want to use this code in Visual Studio 2010. But i have more than 300 errors popping up. I followed the approach specified in the link " http://blogs.abo.fi/alexeevpetr/2011/09/30/building-simulink-generated-c-code-in-visual-studio/" But the problem is that i do not have MATLAB installed in the system where the Visual Studio is present. I have however got the .h and .c files required which are mentioned in the link above.I am also new to Visual Studio. Please provide the solution in step wise procedure, so that i can follow it easily.

I think the easiest way is to select the System target file (in the Configuration Parameters window's Code Generation pane) that corresponds to "Create Visual C/C++ solution file" - this should create a Visual Studio project (solution file) that you can directly load into Visual Studio. Alternatively, see Relocate Code to Another Development Environment.

I created a the visual studio solution. But it gives me the following errors:

1> adder_test.c 1> grt_main.c 1>c1 : fatal error C1083: Cannot open source file: '..\..\..\..\..\..\Program Files\MATLAB\R2012a\rtw\c\grt\grt_main.c': No such file or directory 1> rt_logging.c 1>c1 : fatal error C1083: Cannot open source file: '..\..\..\..\..\..\Program Files\MATLAB\R2012a\rtw\c\src\rt_logging.c': No such file or directory 1> rt_nonfinite.c 1> rt_sim.c 1>c1 : fatal error C1083: Cannot open source file: '..\..\..\..\..\..\Program Files\MATLAB\R2012a\rtw\c\src\rt_sim.c': No such file or directory

It is still trying to access the files from a matlab folder which does not exist on my system. But it exists on the system who created the model. I have these files. But where do i make changes so that it reads from my system?

Ah. If you're relocating to another system, then please read from the link in my answer.

Hi Kaustubha,

I have a question concerning your first answer to this issue (29 Nov 2012). You said that in the Configuration Parameters

window's Code Generation pane there is an entry like "Create Visual C/C++ solution file". Which version of Matlab/Simulink is

that? Because in my version (R2010a) the only system target files that include something with Visual C/C++ projects are:

"Visual C/C++ Project Makefile only for the "grt" target"

and

"Visual C/C++ Project Makefile only for the Real-Time Workshop Embedded Coder"

I tried it with the first one with the result that a mak-file plus a mk-file were created (besides the usual other files of

course). But with the Visual Studio I can't open such a mak- or mk-file (normally the project files end with vcproj).

Do you have an idea how to come to the project?

Best regards!

Woody: I think the "Create Visual C/C++ solution file" option was added in R2010b, that's probably why you don't see it.

Hi all, can anyone tell me how to setup visual studio and MATLAB/Simulink to do software in the loop simulation?
