Configure subroutine in ABAQUS

Step 1: Select the best version compatibility

Best Combination might be ABAQUS 6.13+XE2013+VS2010

Step 2: Finding the location of "ifort.exe" and "ifortvars.bat" from intel composer xe2013 and "vcvarsall.bat" from Microsoft visual studio 2010

Then copy all to "advanced system setting>Environment variable>system variable>path>edit" which looks like:

;C:\SIMULIA\Abaqus\Commands;C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Composer XE 2013\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Composer XE 2013\bin\intel64;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC;C:\windows\system32;

Step 3: Modify ABAQUS command file

on ABAQUS command properties modify the path wiz ifortvars.bat and vcvarsall.bat located:

C:\Windows\syswow64\cmd.exe /k & "C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Composer XE 2013\bin\ifortvars.bat" intel64 vs2010

Step 4: Modify ABAQUS batch file (abaqus.bat which is located on C:\SIMULIA\Abaqus\Commands) with the following:

@echo off

call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" x64

call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Composer XE 2013\bin\ipsxe-comp-vars.bat" intel64 vs2010

call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Composer XE 2013\bin\ifortvars.bat" intel64 vs2010

"C:\SIMULIA\Abaqus\Commands\abq6131.bat" %*

Step 5: Modify ABAQUS CAE file

On ABAQUS CAE properties modify the path wiz ifortvars.bat and vcvarsall.bat located:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Composer XE 2013\bin\ifortvars.bat" intel64 vs2010 & C:\SIMULIA\Abaqus\Commands\abq6131.bat cae || pause

Step 6: Modify ABAQUS Verification file

on ABAQUS verification properties modify the path wiz ifortvars.bat located:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Composer XE 2013\bin\ifortvars.bat" intel64 vs2010 & C:\SIMULIA\Abaqus\Commands\abq6131.bat -verify -all -log && notepad.exe verify.log || notepad.exe verify.log

Step 7: check MSMPI file

On command prompt type:

>>abq6131 verify -user_std

if there is a problem related with msmpi.lib (fatal error LNK 1181) then re install from ABAQUS setup:

>Abaqus 6.13\extracted\win86_64\product\Windows\Disk1\InstData\VM

Step 8: subroutine verification

It will notify you that you pass user subroutine and continue working.

That is it!!!

Hello,

first of all to check if visual studio and fortran are linked, open visual studio and go to tools tab. The first entry in the list should be your version of intel composer.

After you have checked that you must be sure that abaqus sees visual studio and intel composer, so you will go to abaqus installation directory and specifically:

C:\SIMULIA\Abaqus\Commands

there you will find abq613.bat file and you will open it by right clicking on it and using "Open with...Notepad". In this file you will write the lines:

@echo off

REM @call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\bin\amd64\vcvars64.bat"

@call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Composer XE 2013 SP1\bin\ifortvars.bat" intel64

"C:\SIMULIA\Abaqus\6.14-2\code\bin\abq6142.exe" %*

!!! Be careful, I have written the lines according to the software I use. In your case you will change the directories to get the proper paths for your software !!!

Hope it helps.

The attached file is not mine but it has a step by step guide to the linking process

Thanks Mohamed Balbaa 

I will follow your instructions and them tell you if works

Thanks again

Hello

I follow yours instructions but a "classics Umat" do not run yet...I´ll send you a attached file whit the pictures in the process colud you please check this

thanks again.

thank very much to Anargyros Karakalas and Mohamed Balbaa

The Abaqus is linking whit the other software and the UMAT is runing

Thanks Again

I highly recommend to follow the easy and step by step guideline to link Abaqus with fortran: http://altayrd.blogfa.com/post/85

Hi,

You can use this instruction:

Liosber Medina

You need XE2013 compiler and follow the procedure that i recommended.
