ABAQUS / linking problems with subroutines

[radarvizeh]

Hi,

I am trying to run an ABAQUS VUMAT,I tried to follow the instruction of previous threads about linking problems with subroutines,but still I have some problems:

1)after linking to cl.exe in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\bin,I recieve this error message when I want to open ABAQUS/CAE,"This application failed to start because mspdb0.dll was not found...."

2)Which cl.exe should I put in PATH/enviromental variables,
because there are some other cl.exe files in
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\ce\bin\x86_arm
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC\ce\bin\x86_mips
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\ce\bin\x86_sh

I tried to run vcvarsall.bat and ifortvars.bat files by writting this two command on cmd,but I don not see any change on enviromental variables setting,also when I install VC++,I do not recieve any message about updating enviromental variables .

Finally,the error message is,

Error in job test_case: 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 version of Abaqus may need to be adjusted.
Job test_case aborted due to errors.

Thanks a lot for any help.

Can you try to compile the following VUMAT (http://polymerfem.com/forums/showthread.php?t=42) that is known to work?

What error message do you get when you try to use the subroutine?
(Use on of the test cases discussed in the thread (http://polymerfem.com/forums/showthread.php?t=42)).
