Here's a breakdown on linking Abaqus 2022 with Intel oneAPI Fortran Compiler and Visual Studio:
Software Installation:
Visual Studio 2019: Install this first. Microsoft recommends using the 2019 version with Abaqus 2022: [invalid URL removed]
Intel oneAPI HPC Toolkit (Intel Fortran Compiler): Download and install the toolkit ensuring the Fortran compiler is included.
Abaqus 2022 with CAA API: This component allows user-defined subroutines, install it at any point.
Environment Variable Configuration:
You'll need to configure two environment variables:vars.bat: This script sets up the environment for Abaqus. Locate it in your Abaqus installation directory and run it. vcvars64.bat: This script sets up the environment for Visual Studio. You'll typically find it under C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build (replace "Community" with your edition if different). Locate and run the appropriate version (32-bit or 64-bit) based on your Visual Studio installation.
Linking Abaqus with Fortran Compiler:
There are two main methods:
Using Batch Files:Create a batch file (.bat) with commands specifying the Intel Fortran compiler and linker for Abaqus. This method offers more control over the linking process.
Using Default Shortcuts (Alternative):Right-click on the Abaqus executable and go to "Properties". In the "Target" field, add the path to the Intel Fortran compiler and linker at the beginning of the existing command. This is a simpler approach but offers less customization.
Verification:
Run Abaqus and check the "abaqus info=system" command output.
Look for lines mentioning the Intel Fortran compiler version.
If unsuccessful, double-check your system configuration and software installations.
