Help on the linking Abaqus to Fortran

[tony711]

Dear All:

I am new Subroutine user and I have Force2.0 installed on my computer with Abaqus 6.10. When I type 'abaqus job=analysis user=analysis', it returns that 'analysis.for or analysis.obj can not be located', I changed the extension of the .f file to .for, which seems pass through but still with error that 'ifort.exe can not be found'. I looked everywhere and got no clue, pls pls help on this and your kind help is mostly appreciated.

Hi,

Here are some thing to check:

1) Are you sure you have the correct Fortran version for your Abaqus version?

2)Have you successfully configured it i.e. set enviroment variables etc. You can use the following command to check this:

abaqus verify -user_std

3) Try running an example from the abaqus manual to see if the problem lies with your code or the current software set ups

Dear Timusop:

I run the 'abaqus verify -user_std', it says fail for my Fortran Compilier. I think that is mainly because my fortran compiler (Force 2.0) gives .f file insted of .for file. I changed the .f extension to .for directly. The abaqus accept the .for file but can not find the ifort.exe file. I also run a example file obtained from "Abaqus Verification Manual" 4..1.14. It is same error.

I may need to install a Intel Fortrain Compiler 9.1 or 10.1, but I still dount that error might still be there because I saw some threads talking about this.

Appreciate your kind reply.

I would think you will have less errors, by using Intel as ifort.exe is a specific Intel fortran file (I think..)

From the error messages you are getting from the abaqus verify it does sound like your compiler is not configured with abaqus correctly.

All the best

Thank you, Timusop. I will try to install Intel Compaq Fortran 9.1 and see from there.

Best

These links should ay also be helpful for making sure you have the correct versions with your abaqus installation.
