Solution
If you cannot find the Multisim Design VI in LabVIEW, it means that it was not installed. The Multisim installer will by-default enable the plug-in installer if it detects you have the proper versions of LabVIEW and the LabVIEW Control Design & Simulation module installed.
You can check which version of Multisim you have by launching the application and selecting
Help » About Multisim.
You can manually force the Multisim installer to install the plug-in for LabVIEW. To do this, launch the Multisim installer, and follow the prompts until you reach the
Features section (see
Figure 1) where you can select which features to install.
Figure 1
- Click the icon to the left of the NI LabVIEW-Multisim Co-simulation Plug-in 14.1 for LabVIEW entry, and select Install this feature to a local drive.
- You can then click Next.
Once you finish running the installer, the plug-in will now be installed in the LabVIEW directory, you may launch LabVIEW and find the Co-simulation plug-in located in the
Functions Palette » Control Design & Simulation » Simulation » External Models » Multisim » Multisim Design VI.
