Could not locate method GETEFINTERFACEVERSION when loading a dll file

Hi. I have an API for custom particle property, and I was able to run it for EDEM 2022.3

Now I started to use EDEM 2023 and got a message (screenshot below). I have tried to re-compile the dll using Visual Studio, but couldn't fix. Could you please give some advice? Any suggestions will be really appreciated.

Hi @Yangyang_Shen,

This error suggests that you are trying to load a contact model as a particle body force. Those models use the GETCMINTERFACEVERSION method instead of the GETEFINTERFACEVERSION.

If this is not your case and you are loading a particle body force in the right place, could you please share your code?

Best regards,

Renan

Hi @Renan

Thanks so much for your reply. I am trying to load a particle body force. I just noticed the method GETEFINTERFACEVERSION is called in PluginParticleBodyForceCore.h

I've attached my codes. Please let me know what you think. Thanks a lot for your help!

Hi @Yangyang_Shen,

It seems that you're missing the file that implements the GETEFINTERFACEVERSION method.

You can find an example on how that file should look like here:
