How to link the fortran compiler with Abaqus?
Submitted by tony711 on Thu, 2011-10-06 21:50.
Dear All Abaqus Experts:
I am new Subroutine user and I have Force2.0 installed on my computer with Abaqus 6.10. When I type 'abaqus job=analysis user=analysis', it returns that 'analysis.f or analysis.obj can not be located', I changed the extension of the .f file to .for, which seems pass through but still with error that 'ifort.exe can not be found'. I looked everywhere and got no clue, pls pls help on this and your kind help is mostly appreciated.

Check abq6102 verify –user_std
Dear ton711,
I am not replying back to your post as an Abaqus expert at all, but on the other hand I gave a lot of time and effort to get Abaqus and Fortran work together! So I can really unerstand your frustration and disappointment. To be honest I have not heard this Fortran Compiler, but you should take into account that Abaqus is really picky about what compiler is used. They recommend Intel Fortran Compiler. My current configuration is Abaqus 6.10-2, Visual Studio 2008 and Visula Fortran Compiler Pro 11.1.054. The order of installation of the above mentioned applications is the following :
1st Visual Studio 2008
2nd Intel Visual Fortran Compiler Pro 11.1.054
3rd Abaqus 6.10-2
When I want to run an analysis with subroutine support I type the command (abq6102 job= user= ) in the Fortran Compiler;s command prompt.
You can also check if Abaqus has recognized your Fortran compiler by opemimg the compiler's command prompt and type : "abq6102 verify -user_std".
You should also check the support site of Simulia (if you have not already done that) you may find there an answer to your question. Do not hesitate to contact me if I can be of any help.
Good Luck,

Dear Ilias: Thanks so
Dear Ilias:
Thanks so much for your explaination. I would try to install another compiler and see from there. Hope the problem would be solved. I tried a 2-D example provided from Abaqus Verification Manual but still got error. I did not Simulia site but I will. Appreciated!
Best wishes

Dear Ilias Zilakos,
I think the order of installation of those softwares is not important. My order is:
1st Abaqus 6.11-1
2nd Visual Studio 2008
3rd Intel Visual Fortran Compiler 11.1.065.
Finally, these softwares are work well with each other.

Dear Sir,
I am spending a lot of time in connecting fortran to abaqus but no success.
I installed the order in which you gave but no success. Is there any other changes we have to do in the system. I am new to this and the help available in the forum is not of much use. Please can you help
