Installing Microsoft Visual Studio and Altair Embed Add-On DLL Wizard 2020

If you want to create a block that has custom C/C++ code for simulation and/or code generation, you need Microsoft

Visual Studio (MSVS) and the Altair Embed Add-On DLL Wizard 2020.

Note: When you install Embed, it detects the version of MSVS installed on your computer.

• If it detects MSVS v2017 or older, Embed automatically installs a complementary Altair Embed Add-On DLL Wizard 2020.
• If you have MSVS v2019 or newer, you have to install the Altair Embed Add-On DLL Wizard 2020.

If MSVS is not installed on your computer at the time of the Embed installation, you must install MSVS and then re-install Embed.

To install Microsoft Visual Studio

1. Go to the Microsoft Visual Studio download webpage (https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/). If you want an older

version, go to https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/older-downloads/.

2. Follow the directions on the webpage to download the version you want to use.

The Altair Embed Add-On DLL Wizard 2020 supports both the Professional and Express or Community editions of

MSVS.

To install the Altair Embed Add-On DLL Wizard 2020

Note: You must have MSVS v2017+ installed on your computer.

1. In File Explorer, go to Altair > Embed2022.3.
2. Double-click DLLWIZ20.VSIX.
3. Follow the on-screen directions.
