df.exe not found with subroutine

[eispiata]

Hi again,

I was trying to use an example file of a DLOAD subrtoutine to apply a uniform load:

SUBROUTINE DLOAD(F,KSTEP,KINC,TIME,NOEL,NPT,LAYER,KSPT,
1 COORDS,JLTYP,SNAME)
C
INCLUDE 'ABA_PARAM.INC'
C
DIMENSION COORDS(3)
CHARACTER*80 SNAME
C
F=10
RETURN
END

The analysis quickly aborted and i got the following message:

The job input file "tafsut.inp" has been submitted for analysis.
Error in job tafsut: Problem during compilation - df.exe not found in PATH.
Job tafsut aborted due to errors.

What does it mean?

df.exe is the Fortran compiler.

When you attach a subroutine file, immediately after the job is submitted, ABAQUS calls the Fortran compiler (df.exe) to compile the subroutine file. ABAQUS tries to locate the Fortran compiler based on the information in the system PATH variable. If it cannot locate the Fortran compiler, it gives the error you mentioned.

Errors due to incorrect/missing paths to either Fortran/C++ compilers or various library files have been discussed on this forum several times. I recommend you do a search.
