Run Subroutines in ABAQUS 6.11-3

[aref_tmu]

Dear All,

I have Windows 7 x64, ABAQUS 6.11-3, Intel Visual Fortran 11.1.048 and MS Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate.

I did:

Step-1: "ifortvars_ia32" in Visaul Fortran Installed Path: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Compiler\11.1\048\bin\intel64\ifortvar s_intel64.bat"

Step-2: "vsvars32" OR "vcvarsamd64.bat" in Microsoft visual studio installed path: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\bin\amd64\vcvars64.bat"

Step-3: CAE target directory changed to this: "Step-1" && "Step-2" && C:\SIMULIA\Abaqus\Commands\abq6101.bat cae || pause Step-4: Command target directory changed to this: "Step-1" && "Step-2" && C:\Windows\SysWOW64\cmd.exe /k

Step-5: Verification target directory changed to this: "Step-1" && "Step-2" && C:\SIMULIA\Abaqus\Commands\abq6101.bat -verify -all -log && notepad.exe verify.log || notepad.exe verify.log

Step-6: My computer properties/Advanced system settings/Advanced tab/ Environment Variables/user variables ===> include ====> in system variables ===> path/edit/variable value/copy this in value: C:\Program Files\Microsoft HPC Pack 2008\Bin\;%IFORT_COMPILER11%lib\ia32;%SystemRoot%\ system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemR\

101.bat cae || pause;Step-1 without file name;Step-2
without file name

But so far I can not use it

Also I saw an old topic for ABAQUS 6.8 in this forum which didn't help.

Please help me to solve it, I do NEED to simulate a part of my PhD thesis using ABAQUS with subroutine.

[IceBreaker]

a) You do not need && notepad.exe verify.log || notepad.exe verify.log in Step-5.
b) What are the error messages in the verify.log?

[aref_tmu]

I found the Verify.log in the "C:\SIMULIA\Abaqus\6.11-3\installation_info" address. It is as below and I saw no error:

Abaqus/Standard with user subroutines


         ...INFORMATION

            System requirements were not met. Verification
            procedure will be skipped. However, user subroutines
            can be run using a precompiled library set by the
            variable usub_lib_dir. For more information please
            see the section 3.2.2 of Abaqus Analysis User's
            Manual.

         Continuing...

But there is an error in cmd which opens at the ABAQUS start up, I attached the picture of it

Also I get the next error while trying to analyse my in ABAQUS. It is good to know that this file which I want to simulate is built in ABAQUS 6.9 with fortran 9.1

Please help if you have any idea what is wrong.

[IceBreaker]

I saw no error

Including Google Chrome (which is not a concern), you have 3 failures!
************************************************** ************************************************** ******************************************
I have successfully installed both VS 2008 and 2009 with Intel Fortran 10 and 11 on multiple platforms (see below). Sometimes, if you do not select ALL options during the installation of VS or Fortran, strange errors crop up. Try setting appropriate environment variables (in PATH). If that does not help, try to "repair" VS installation and see if that helps. If that does not work, try to "repair" Fortran installation. If nothing works, uninstall everything and reinstall VS (all options), then Fortran (all options), and then Abaqus.

Abaqus Command

Go to Start  Programs  Abaqus  Right click on Abaqus Command  Click on Properties

Change the Target something like (either one):

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\bin\vcvars32.bat" & "C:\Program Files\Intel\Compiler\Fortran\10.1.014\IA32\Bin\ifortvars.bat" && C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /k

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\bin\x86_amd64\vcvarsx86_amd64.bat" & "C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Compiler\11.0\061\fortran\Bin\intel64\ifortvars_intel64.bat" && C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /k

Click OK

If you want to run Abaqus CAE with vcvars32.bat and ifortvars.bat already running in the background, do the following (either one):

Abaqus CAE

Go to Start  Programs  Abaqus  Right click on Abaqus CAE  Click on Properties

Change the Target to the following:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\bin\vcvars32.bat" && "C:\Program Files\Intel\Compiler\Fortran\10.1.014\IA32\Bin\ifortvars.bat" && C:\Abaqus\Commands\abq691.bat cae || pause

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\bin\x86_amd64\vcvarsx86_amd64.bat" && "C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Compiler\11.0\061\fortran\Bin\intel64\ifortvars_intel64.bat" && C:\Abaqus\Commands\abq6101.bat cae || pause

Click OK


Abaqus Verification

If you are interested in carrying out a verification of the entire Abaqus/Fortran/Microsoft Visual Studio set-up, do the following (either one):

Go to Start  Programs  Abaqus  Right click on Abaqus Verification  Click on Properties

Change the Target to the following:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\bin\vcvars32.bat" && "C:\Program Files\Intel\Compiler\Fortran\10.1.014\IA32\Bin\ifortvars.bat" && C:\Abaqus\Commands\abq691.bat -verify -all -log 

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\bin\x86_amd64\vcvarsx86_amd64.bat" & "C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Compiler\11.0\061\fortran\Bin\intel64\ifortvars_intel64.bat" && C:\Abaqus\Commands\abq6101.bat -verify -all -log

Click OK

[aref_tmu]

I dont get what you mean bro !!!!

[IceBreaker]

Aref:

What makes you say there are no errors in your installation? Read the verify.log carefully.

If you still can't get much further, then you need somebody (your system administrator or a SIMULIA representative) to help you. Sorry, I can not possibly be of any more help.

[aref_tmu]

Sorry I did not look carefully. But as you see in the attached images I have C++ and Visual Fortran.
Also I have internet explorer 9 and firefox 12
So why the ABAQUS says can not find them?
What shall I so?

[IceBreaker]

What shall I so[do]?

The answer is provided one of the responses above (the one with some code in it). IF the solution does not work for you, then you may need to uninstall everything and reinstall VS first (with all options), then Fortran (all options), and then ABAQUS.

[aref_tmu]

I installed all of the mentioned packages from the beginning. below is the log file I received after installation.

Also I made the changes mentioned in 1st post of this topic. Now when I want to run my simulation with the fortran subroutine I get the attached error message. Also the command window is attached as a picture. There is an error on command window too but I dont know how to solve it.

Please help
Thanks in Advance.

The message you're getting in the Abaqus monitor is pretty generic. Assuming you have a working subroutine it means there is a problem with linking your subroutines with Abaqus. There are lots of potential reasons.
Some things to try:
1) If you are using the 64 bit compiler make sure x64 compilers and tools are installed with visual studio (this is a non default option during installation).
2) Make sure there are no errors when you run ifortvars.bat on its own in a command window. If there are, open up the BAT file and make sure all the paths (for example path to vcvars) and chosen system architecture (eg. x86_amd64) are correct.
