Hello everyone,
I'm trying to get Fortran Complier for running user subroutines in ABAQUS. It seems Intel has incorporated the Fortran complier into the Parallel studio XE and the cost for the parallel studio XE is quite high for what I actually need it for. I wonder if anyone knows if there's any way to get a license just for the Fortran Complier? I've tried to contact the sales on Intel website but got no response. The retailers seem to all only sell the whole parallel studio licenses.
Thank you.
Connie
I would say check with the university as they might have some version of Intel compiler as they often do just don't advertise it. However make sure you get the version for your specific release of Abaqus as different versions of the compiler/linker and Abaqus don't play along nicely, only the versions recommended.
By the way Intel has a student program, where it says you can get a free license for learning and teaching purposes, but I don't know the exact details:

If it is something very quick/non-commercial that you want to try you can probably also get away with downloading the evaluation version where you have 30 days to try it and experiment. Potentially compile the code into a .dll (I assume you use Windows) which works even after the license expired. Or ask someone who has the compiler to create the .dll for you. Obviously if its a long research or commercial work this is not the way going forward.
The Intel compiler is quite high quality. But for those who are budget constrained, the GCC Fortran compiler (gfortran) is a very good compiler and is "free" (you still have to do some work to install it). If you are using the university central computer facility, someone might have already installed gfortran. It is worth a try. If it works, you avoid any license issues into the future.
You can have a free students licenses if you have a institute email id. I am using Parallel studio XE free with my student id. You get one license for one id Connie Cheng Qian
You can use gfortran instead of ifort. Besides, bash under Linux offers you great features to automatize your jobs and perform parallel computing ! you can follow the guidelines indicated in this link https://github.com/Solid-Mechanics/Install-ABAQUS-on-Ubuntu.
