Hello,

I am trying to compile an example furnished with ANSYS software, and I obtain the following message :


******************************************************************

This is the ANSYS Revision 120 RDRWRT batch file. It is
used to link the Reader/Writer programs to demonstrate reading
and writing ANSYS blocked binary files on the Windows 32-bit
systems.

This version uses the Intel Visual Fortran Compiler

I have installed Visual Studio 2005 and Intel Fortran 10.1, but I have clearly pb of adress.
I found another discussion on your forum where you explain that it is necessary to modify lib path in VS/tools/... but it does not work for me.
Have you an idea ?

Thanks

My guess is that the ANSYS batch file does not correctly set up the Intel Visual Fortran environment. It should call a file "ifortvars.bat" which will add to the LIB environment variable a folder containing ifconsol.lib.

Try this - start your command prompt session with Start > Programs > Intel Software Development Tools > Intel Fortran Compiler 10.0 > Build environment for 32-bit applications

Then from that run the ANSYS batch file.

Quoting - jldutc

It works.
Thanks a lot !
