I am trying to run Abaqus job+user subroutine from Matlab. When I run it from Abaqus prompt command (abaqus job= user=) it works fine, but trom Matlab (!abaqus job= user=) I get an error:

Begin Compiling Abaqus/Standard User Subroutines

WindowsError: [Error 2] The system cannot find the file specified
As all is working properly from Abaqus prompt command, I assume the essencial system variables are correctly set (I followed the instructions in https://polymerfem.com/archive/index.php/t-910.html)
Does anybody know what to do?
Thanks in advance!
Running the input file with subroutine from matlab: (one of many ways) works at least with Abaqus 6.14-2
1. Set the abaqus command window ‘start in’ to the abaqus input file folder
2. Save a copy of the subroutine in your_subroutine_name.for extension
3. In abaqus command window, type ‘abaqus make library=your_subroutine_name.for’ and this will create a file named ‘standardU.dll’ in your folder containing the input and subroutine files (check).
4. Create a text file named ‘abaqus_v6.txt’ and paste the following three lines in that,
import os
usub_lib_dir = os.getcwd()
del os
And then change the file extension to ‘abaqus_v6.env’
5. Now from matlab run system('abaqus job=Job_name.inp interactive' )
No need to define the subroutine with ‘user’ command. The newly created ‘standardU.dll’ file will take care of that.
Cheers!
