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.

Regards,

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.
