Configuration of Fortran to program target

[mechprog]

Hello all,

I am trying to configure the following into the properties - target for abaqus.

C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Intel\\Compiler\\Fortran\\10.1.030\\em64t\\bin\\ifortvars.bat && C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\\VC\\bin\\amd64\\vcvarsamd64.bat && C:\\SIMULIA\\Abaqus\\Commands\\abq6101.bat cae || pause

I keep receiving the following message

"The name "'C:\\Program' specified in the target box is ot valid. Make sure the path and file name are correct.

I have checked all these the paths and file names are correct. What could be the problem here. Thanks.

It looks to me as if you wanted to put this under Debugging > Command. Where exactly are you entering this? I don't know of a "Target" property.

Thanks for your reply,

The target can be found for each software installed on windows in the following way:
- Start
- All Programs
- Right click on software and go to Properties
- "Target" is under the shortcut tab

Hope the clarifies this.

Is this a script or Windows form provided by Abaqus? Are you running under the intended shell? It looks as if your shell is treating the space in the path as a terminator, which presumably the quotes were intended to avoid.
We can't substitute on this forum for Abaqus customer support.

Oh, I see what you're trying to do. You're trying to change the environment Abaqus runs in so that it establishes the Fortran compile environment. I will comment that none of this has to do with the Intel Fortran product (other than in an incidental way).

The way I would approach this is to create a .bat file that has:

call "path-to-ifortvars.bat"
call "path to abq6101.bat"

and create a new shortcut (don't try to change the one for Abaqus) to

C:\Windows\cmd.exe /E:ON /V:ON /K "path to new .bat"

The /K keeps the console window open after the .bat files run. I don't know what "cae" does - you can add that to the .bat if you want.
