Hello,
I am modeling a complex process and I need to use a user subroutine to so. I am using the newest version of Abaqus and I cannot seem to get the compiled subroutine linked with the solver. I am using the 2018 Intel compiler and Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Update 3. The error I am getting in the log file is:
End Compiling Abaqus/Standard User Subroutines
Begin Linking Abaqus/Standard User Subroutines
'LINK' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Abaqus Error: Problem during linking - Abaqus/Standard User Subroutines.
This error may be due to a mismatch in the Abaqus user subroutine arguments.
These arguments sometimes change from release to release, so user subroutines
used with a previous release of Abaqus may need to be adjusted.
Begin Convert MFS to SFS

Run SMASimUtility.exe
5/18/2018 10:52:42 AM
End Convert MFS to SFS
Abaqus/Analysis exited with errors
Thanks for your help.
Best,
Logan
I think the link.exe is not in path.
You can try add ifortvars.bat as I write in answer https://www.researchgate.net/post/To_link_Abaqus_to_Fortran_should_I_add_Fortran_call_to_Abaqus_shortcut_property_target_or_to_abaqusbat_or_both
Hi,
Try this procedure
Technical Report Guide to Link ABAQUS 2017 with FORTRAN
Hi,
I've linked the Abaqus 2018 with Fortran and Abqus verification Pass everything, Abaqus cannot run the job and gives the error "unable to start analysis job", kindly let me know if anyone has idea on how to resolve it. I've also increased the cpus, but still it didn't work.

Mehdi
Thank you everyone.
I was able to get user subroutines running. I had to add multiple library paths to my environment variables. Also, a good thing to mention would be to make sure the libraries are the 64-bit versions not the 32-bit (x86_64) libraries because Abaqus will compile in 64-bit.
@ Logan
Please are you using Abaqus 2018 or 2019? If it is 2018, can you kindly share the steps. Thanks

All versions of Abaqus, Intel compiler, and visual studio are the 2018 versions. To get the user subroutines working I would submit a job linked to a user subroutine and when the job would fail I would check the log file for information on what library or executable caused the problem and add it to my environment variables. Make sure to add all 64-bit libraries, not x86_64.
@ Logan
Thanks Bro. I'm gonna try that out and tell you the outcome.
Hello Mehdi Shahzamanian ,
I am also having same issue, have you resolved it for your case? Can you please share the solution?
Thank you.
Hi Rohit,
I remember I had to change the windows of my computer then when I tried ahain, it worked properly.

Hi,
In Abaqus/CAE 6.14-2, to link the user subroutine file, we go to Module: Job, click Job Manager, choose the job that uses the subroutine and click Edit. In the Edit Job dialog box, click the General tab, browse and choose the subroutine in the line User subroutine file. Click OK and Submit the job.
Hope this helps.
