linking abaqus to fortran

[alperturan]

Hi All,

i am a relatively new Abaqus user. I have a Umat subroutine and corresponding inp file. When I want to get them run togather, (abaqus job=... user=...) solution is interrupted wit the error. Can anyone tell me if;

1. I need to install a Fortran compiler?

2. If yes, how do I run it before I write the command given about?

3. What is the simplest procedure to at least get one of the example problems run?


your helps will be appreciated.

My regards,

1. Yes, you need a Fortran compiler , for ABAQUS v6.x, x>=6 you need Intel Fortran, which in turns will need MS Visual C++. Check the software requirements for the ABAQUS version you run.

2. You do not need to run the compiler independently, but rather ABAQUS will run the compiler/linker in background to compile/link the subroutine file, when you submit the job. You might need to set the paths to some executable and library files in the PATH environment variable.

3.After installing the compiler , check the installation by running:
>>abaqus verify -user_std

See:
ABAQUS Installation and Licensing Guide Manual (v6.6)->Appendix F: Verification procedure

for details on verifying the installation.

what is the error message?

I have checked the installation by running: >>abaqus verify -user_std. However, it looks like I still don't have a proper linking between Fortran and Abaqus. Currently, i have Abaqus 6.6.1 and Intel Fortran 9.1 and MS visual studio 2005. I think I am having a kind of conflict due to different versions.

Running "abaqus verify" creates a .log file (in a folder called "verify") which gives you some details about what is wrong. Commonly, you need to edit the PATH/LIB variables to include the paths to either link.exe or to some .lib files.

Thx Xerf,

I hope it works.

Hi Xerf,

Could you see my other thread about infinite elements.

Cheers,

Hi Alperturan,

I have the same problem. Were you able to solve yours? I have been trying to get this linking problem worked out without any success. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

You need to correctly setting environment variables to allow ABAQUS to detect compilers.

You can get more info from ABAQUS answers.

Hi guys,

I have run >>abaqus verify -user_std command and got following warning. I still have the linking problem.
Please let me know where excatly can I find the ifort.exe (please give a path) and should I add this path to only Path part in environment or it needs to be added to other parts such as lib.

No FLEXlm licanse servers are specifid in ABAQUS environment file. Please see ABAQUS site guide for more information.
