I was using  for almost 5 years.

But if you want to upgrade to x64 Windows and upgraded programs, then follow the below steps where I am going to give a brief explanation to install ABAQUS 6.14.1, VS 2012 and Intel Fortran XE 2013 and link them:

install the below programs in a row (pay attention to the version of the software),

  • ABAQUS 6.14-1
  • Visual Studio 2012 with Update #4 (must install the update)
  • Intel Fortran Composer XE 2013 Sp1 (Service Pack 1)

now to link all these three, (I installed in Win 7 x64)

1. in the search section of your My Computer type abq6141.bat 

2. open this file with Notepad++, you may see the below lines:

@echo off

"C:\SIMULIA\Abaqus\6.14-1\code\bin\abq6141.exe" %*

3. before @echo off you should put the address of VS 2012 and IF Xe2013 as below:

call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" X64

call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Composer XE 2013\bin\ipsxe-comp-vars.bat" intel64 vs2012

@echo off

"C:\SIMULIA\Abaqus\6.14-1\code\bin\abq6141.exe" %*

Your lines may be different because they are depended on your installation addresses. The first line is the address for vcvarsall.bat and the second line is the address for ipsxe-comp-vars.bat where you can type them in the search section and copy their address to the above file. pay attention that you must write down call and put the address in the "" and also write the words after quotation marks.

4. save the abq6141.bat and open the ABAQUS Command which is similar to CMD and you can find it where Abaqus CAE installed.

in the abaqus command type,

abaqus verify -all

if the standard and explicit parts for the subroutines get PASS then you have linked them.

Have fun
