Abaqus 6.14-2 Link with Fortran Compiler (2018XE)

[Aryal__Binod]

Hello, 

I tried to link abaqus 6.14-2 with visual studio 2015 and intel parallel XE 2018-update2

When i run in abaqus command abq6us verify -all

The error is always present in abaqus user soubroutine section of standard and explicit. 

I have followed steps provided in earlier discussion pages here at intel forums and researchgate but my problem can't be solved 

Looking forward for help.

Abaqus Error: Problem during linking - Single Precision Abaqus/Explicit 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.
Abaqus/Analysis exited with errors

It appears that the linking command that Abaqus issued did not include the MSVC library, MSVCRT.LIB. If you can make Abaqus display the compiling and linking commands and report them here, someone may be able to help you part of the way, but you probably have to ask for help at an Abaqus forum.

Hi Binod,

In addition to the abaqus verify, have you tried running an analysis with a specific user subroutine?  I've found that the automated abaqus verify may fail its test, but I can run a specific analysis, such as with the DLOAD or UMAT user subroutines.

I recommend starting the Intel Fortran console window from Start -> Intel Parallel Studio -> Compiler 18 update 2 for x64; that initializes the Intel Fortran variables for compiling the user subroutine when running the abaqus solver.

Regards, Greg

I tried to look through the forums but no luck. I got Visual studio enterprise update 2017 and installed Intel XE 2018 update 2. I tried to follow all these steps to re-run the general UMAT code provided in abaqus tutorial but i still get the same error of compilation. 

the abaqus window shows that the patch of visual studio and intel compiler is fine (included in snapshot)

I have included these two lines in abaqus6142.bat file

@echo off

call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvars64.bat"

call "C:\Program Files (x86)\IntelSWTools\compilers_and_libraries_2018.2.185\windows\bin\intel64\ifortvars.bat" intel64 vs2017
"C:\SIMULIA\Abaqus\6.14-2\code\bin\abq6142.exe" %*

the error code has changed this time in log file

Did you install visual studio c++ prior to ifort?

Binod, I suggest that you put aside Abaqus for the time being, and make sure that you can build and run a couple of simple Fortran programs. This will make sure that all the components (of Visual Studio and Parallel Studio/Composer that are needed for compiling and linking Fortran code) are present and functioning. 

Once that is done, you can resume your attempts to get Abaqus to run.
