Hello all,
I have written a UEL in C which is called from Fortran. I use: abaqus job=myjob.inp user=myuelf.f
Fortran file, myuelf.f, is like:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
SUBROUTINE UEL(RHS,AMATRX,SVARS,ENERGY,NDOFEL,NRHS,NSVARS,
1 PROPS,NPROPS,COORDS,MCRD,NNODE,U,DU,V,A,JTYPE,TIME,DTIME,
2 KSTEP,KINC,JELEM,PARAMS,NDLOAD,JDLTYP,ADLMAG,PREDEF,NPREDF,
3 LFLAGS,MLVARX,DDLMAG,MDLOAD,PNEWDT,JPROPS,NJPROP,PERIOD)
INCLUDE ABA_PARAM.INC
DIMENSION ...
...
EXTERNAL BldGenerateStaticElement
CALL BldGenerateStaticElement(NNODE, MCRD, NDOFEL, NRHS,
1 RHS, AMATRX, SVARS, PROPS, U, DU, V, A, COORDS)
RETURN
END
-----------------------------------------------------------------
and the function in the C file, myuelc.c, is like:
extern void bldgeneratestaticelement_ (...){...}
Therefore before the simulation I have created a static library (e.g. libmyuelc.a) using CodeBlocks and put it in my working directory
and added the path to the library (F:\myfolder\libmyuelc.a) to the end of link_sl and link_exe inside abaqus_v6_env, as:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
link_sl=[LINK,
/nologo, /NOENTRY, /INCREMENTAL:NO, /subsystem:console, /machine:AMD64,
/NODEFAULTLIB:LIBC.LIB, /NODEFAULTLIB:LIBCMT.LIB,
/DEFAULTLIB:OLDNAMES.LIB, /DEFAULTLIB:LIBIFCOREMD.LIB, /DEFAULTLIB:LIBIFPORTMD, /DEFAULTLIB:LIBMMD.LIB,
/DEFAULTLIB:kernel32.lib, /DEFAULTLIB:user32.lib, /DEFAULTLIB:advapi32.lib,
/FIXED:NO, /dll,
/def:%E, /out:%U, %F, %A, %L, %B,
oldnames.lib, user32.lib, ws2_32.lib, netapi32.lib, advapi32.lib,
F:\myfolder\libmyuelc.a]
link_exe=[LINK,/nologo, /INCREMENTAL:NO, /subsystem:console, /machine:AMD64, /STACK:20000000,
/NODEFAULTLIB:LIBC.LIB, /NODEFAULTLIB:LIBCMT.LIB, /DEFAULTLIB:OLDNAMES.LIB, /DEFAULTLIB:LIBIFCOREMD.LIB,
/DEFAULTLIB:LIBIFPORTMD, /DEFAULTLIB:LIBMMD.LIB, /DEFAULTLIB:kernel32.lib,
/DEFAULTLIB:user32.lib, /DEFAULTLIB:advapi32.lib,
/FIXED:NO, /LARGEADDRESSAWARE,
/out:%J, %F, %M, %L, %B, %O,
oldnames.lib, user32.lib, ws2_32.lib, netapi32.lib, advapi32.lib,
F:\myfolder\libmyuelc.a]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
However when I run the simulation I get the following error:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
End Compiling Abaqus/Standard User Subroutines
Begin Linking Abaqus/Standard User Subroutines
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file F:\myfolder\libmyuelc.a
Abaqus Error: Problem during linking - Abaqus/Standard 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 have included aba_for_c.h in my C library. Ive checked it and the function can be called and run outside of ABAQUS, but it cannot be linked in ABAQUS.
Im using ABAQUS 6.13, Fortran Composer XE 2011, and VS 2010, on a Win7 machine.
I was wondering if anybody is familiar with this issue or know any alternative way of doing that. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Hanif
