Abaqus Error: The executable standard.exe aborted with system error code 1073741515.

[Mohammed Nagy]

Hello,
I'm trying to control the amplitude of my FEM model by a matlab code. I defined the amplitude as user defined (UAMP). And in my UAMP subroutine.for code I call the matlab function that calculates the value of the new amplitude and returns it. However i get this error in abaqus : The executable standard.exe aborted with system error code 1073741515.

My code uses functions like ep = engOpen('matlab'), T = mxCreateDoubleMatrix(M, N, 0) and similar functions from the matlab example. If I remove them from my code i don't get the error but of course i need them. So what is the problem?

Are there any additional error or warning messages in the dat and msg files ? They may indicate the actual reason of the problem.

Thank you for your reply.
No, Just this error message.

Which release of Abaqus do you use ? Make sure that proper version of Visual Studio for this Abaqus release is installed on your computer. Also check whether the usub_lib_dir parameter in abaqus_v6.env file points to correct directory.

I'm using Abaqus 2017, Visual Studio 2013 and Intel Parallel XE 2017 (This is the only combination that worked for me! I followed the steps in this video

I have the "abaqus_v6.env" at C:\temp\ and it has the following lines inside it :

import os
usub_lib_dir = os.getcwd()
del os

I have another "abaqus_v6.env" located at "C:\Program Files\Dassault Systemes\SimulationServices\V6R2017x\win_b64\SMA\site"

I don't know which one you mean or how it should be written. I attached the file. Thank you!
