Using IMSL into Abaqus application

[perzo]

Hi

I have problem with running simulations into Abaqus using IMSL Fortran library. When I'm compiling fortran source I have such kind of information:

Abaqus Error: Problem during linking - Double 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

I'm using:
Abaqus: 6.9-1
Intel Fortran Compiler 10.0.35
IMSL* Fortran Numerical Library 6.0

Do you now what is wrong or did you ever adding IMSL into fortran into Abaqus
Thanks for any help

You are using a version of IMSL that you purchased separately - not the one that is bundled into Intel Visual Fortran Professional Edition with IMSL. Please contact Visual Numerics for assistance with that. The separate version of IMSL has specific linking requirements due to the embedded licensing code.

Also, you are mixing both DLL and static versions of the Intel Fortran library, which leads to some, but not all, oif those linking errors. You may need to specify /libs:dll /threads on your Fortran compiles if the other libraries require the DLL libraries. Since you have not shown the commands used to compile and link, I can't advise you further.

It was exactly mixed libraries in Abaqus configuration file:

from:
#link_sl= 'cmd /c "LINK /nologo /INCREMENTAL:NO /subsystem:console /machine:X86 /NODEFAULTLIB:LIBC.LIB /NODEFAULTLIB:LIBCMT.LIB /DEFAULTLIB:OLDNAMES.LIB /DEFAULTLIB:LIBIFCOREMD.LIB /DEFAULTLIB:LIBIFPORTMD.LIB /DEFAULTLIB:LIBMMD.LIB /DEFAULTLIB:MSVCRT.LIB /NODEFAULTLIB:MSVCRTD.LIB /DEFAULTLIB:MSVCRTD.LIB /DEFAULTLIB:kernel32.lib /DEFAULTLIB:user32.lib /DEFAULTLIB:advapi32.lib /DEFAULTLIB:imsl.lib /DEFAULTLIB:imslscalar.lib /DEFAULTLIB:imslblas.lib /DEFAULTLIB:imsls_err.lib /FIXED:NO /dll /def:%E /out:%U %F %A %B && mt /manifest %U.manifest /outputresource:%U;2 && del %U.manifest"'

to:
