o Abaqus
o Intel Fortran compiler

PS:• Microsoft Visual Studio Professional editions should be used. EPXRESS editions are
not going to work.• Note that Intel Parallel Studio XE13 best works with MS VS2012• It is a common misconception that linking-setup is sensitive to the order of
installation, which is not true however. The only think to keep in mind is that theFortran Compiler should be installed after installing Microsoft Visual Studio in orderto integrate the Compiler with MS VS. Abaqus could be installed either before orafter installing these two.

MS Visual Studio
o First, install Microsoft Visual Studio 2008/2012 (All Components)
Fortran Compiler
o Then, install Intel FORTRAN Compiler/Intel Parallel Studio
o Must check the INTEGRATE WITH VISUAL STUDIO option during theinstallation
Abaqus
o Lastly, install Abaqus 6.13 (i.e. A step by step video showing theinstallation of Abaqus 6.13 can be found in the link below:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRt4QHQBLiw)

Step 1: Combining FORTRAN Compiler & Visual Studio
Step 2: Invoking FORTRAN Compiler & Visual Studio
Step 3: Linking verification
Step 4: Setting Optimized Running (Optional)

Step 1
o Locate following Fortran & Visual Studio files
o Add the file paths to your computer's environment variables that canbe found by clicking “Properties” of Computer and then choosing“Advanced System Settings”, then, select “Environment Variables”.And, finally, fine the variable named "Path" and update it.
File type Typical path
ifortvars.bat
(Fortran)
C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Compiler\11.1\048\bin\
C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\ComposerXE-2011\bin\
vcvarsamd64.bat
(Visual Studio)
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\bin\amd64
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\bin\amd64

Step 2a:
o Locate the Abaqus Command file & CAE file. The paths to locatethese files usually looks like this: :
Version Typical paths of Abaqus Command file & CAE file
6.12 C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Abaqus 6.12-1
6.13 C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Abaqus 6.13-1

Step 2b:
o Abaqus Command file: Right Click and then choose properties. OnTarget you will see this given path, and needs to be changed asfollowing:
o Save changes, after modification.
Target path
Given C:\Windows\SysWOW64\cmd.exe /k
Modified
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Compiler\11.1\048\bin\ifortvars.bat" intel64
vs2008 & C:\Windows\SysWOW64\cmd.exe /k
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\ComposerXE-2011\bin\ifortvars.bat" intel64
vs2010 & C:\Windows\SysWOW64\cmd.exe /k
Note: Notice that the icon that the shortcut icon that used to be a black display has nowchanged and shows some gears. This is deliberately made to happen so as todistinguish if the Abaqus Command has been setup correctly.

Step 2c:
o Abaqus CAE file: Right Click and then choose properties. On Targetyou will see this given path, and needs to be changed as following:
o Save changes, after modification.
Target paths of Abaqus CAE 6.12/6.13
Given• C:\SIMULIA\Abaqus\Commands\abq6121.bat cae || pause
• C:\SIMULIA\Abaqus\Commands\abq6131.bat cae || pause
Modified
• "C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Compiler\11.1\048\bin\ifortvars.bat" intel64

• "C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\ComposerXE-2011\bin\ifortvars.bat" intel64
vs2010 & C:\SIMULIA\Abaqus\Commands\abq6131.bat cae || pause

Step 3:
o Open Abaqus Command window & type:
Command Description
abaqus verify –all To verify all Abaqus products.
abaqus verify –user_stdTo verify Abaqus Standard with user subroutines has been set
up correctly

Step 4:
o If you try to run a sample job with a user subroutine, you may noticethat the following messages appear in the .log file.
o Solution to circumvent automatic cpu dispatching and eliminatethese messages, find the Abaqus environment file (i.e.abaqus_v6.env) located in the following directory, and open with atext editor:
(col. 18) remark: <SUBROUTINE NAME> has been targeted for automatic cpu dispatch
Version Typical paths of env. file
6.12 C:\SIMULIA\Abaqus\6.13-1\SMA\site
6.13 C:\SIMULIA\Abaqus\6.12-1\SMA\site

Step 4:
o Scroll down to find the compile_fortran command and remove the# symbols before the commands. (This symbol is the commentdescriptor in PYTHON®. By removing it, you activate internaloptimization and debugging while compiling your source code.
Note:• If your processor is not multi-threaded then those (‘/Od’,’/Ob0’) commands
may not appear in the env file or the # ymbols may be already missing.• Between the commands '/Od', '/Ob0' there must be a comma descriptor “,”.
If one does not exist, then you may have to insert in manually.

Error Description:
o “The executable standard.exe aborted with system error code1073741819”
Caused by Intel Haswell (4th-5th gen) processors
Solution:
o Go to the directory C:\SIMULIA\Abaqus\6.13-x\code\bin
o Scroll down to find the file named “mkl_avx2.dll”
o Just rename it to “mkl_avx2.dll.11.0.0.1”
If error persist then:
o there is some error in the code UMAT, and
it is required to thoroughly checked.
