Linking ABAQUS 6.14-5, FORTRAN AND VISUAL STUDIO (SIMPLIFIED
AND EASY PROCEDURE):
In this article, I'm talking about an easy way to connect ABAQUS 6.14-5 with FORTRAN and VISUAL
STUDIO. It's like making them work together smoothly. You'll need ABAQUS 6.14-5, VISUAL STUDIO
2010, and INTEL PARALLEL STUDIO 2015 for this. You can install them in any order, whatever suits you.
To make them link to each other, I've got step-by-step instructions. It starts with setting up important
things called environment variables. This guide is here to make the whole connecting process easy to
understand, stressing how it's crucial to get the paths right and add variables to the system path for
everyone using the computer. There are pictures in Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 3 & Figure 4 below to help
you see how it's done.
Now, let me break it down even more: I've found a simple way for ABAQUS 6.14-5, FORTRAN, and
VISUAL STUDIO to work well together. You just need to follow my steps, and you can use ABAQUS 6.14-
5 smoothly. For this, you'll need ABAQUS 6.14-5, VISUAL STUDIO 2010, and INTEL PARALLEL STUDIO
2015. You can install them in any order you like. I've made it easy for you with clear steps, starting with
setting up important things called environment variables. I call one of them the Ifort Variable. This guide
is here to make everything easy to understand. It's important to get the paths right and add variables so
that everyone using the computer can use it. Look at the pictures below to see how it's done.
Requirements:
You'll need ABAQUS 6.14-5, VISUAL STUDIO 2010, and INTEL PARALLEL STUDIO 2015.
Installation Order:
Always remember, “You can install ABAQUS 6.14-5, VISUAL STUDIO, and Parallel Studio in any order”.
The order doesn't affect how the software links. Just make sure to install all three before linking them.
Linking Process:
To link them, start by setting up an environment variable. In the example shown in the Figure 1, Figure
2, Figure 3 & Figure 4 respectively.
For Ifort Variable:
Name: Ifort (you can choose any name)
Variable: C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Composer XE\bin\ifortvars.bat (the path may vary
for some users, and it's important to find the correct ifortvars.bat file in the Intel Parallel
Studio installation directory).
Note:
The path in the installation might differ for some users. The ifortvars.bat file is crucial, and it's usually
located in the Intel Parallel Studio installation directory (often in the C directory, but not always). Make

sure to include this variable in the system path variables for both all users and single-user installations.
Attached pictures in Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 3 and Figure 4 below for better understanding:

After setting up the environment variables, the next step is to add specific commands to the ABAQUS
6.14-5 launch bat file. This is important for making everything work smoothly with FORTRAN and
VISUAL STUDIO. Adding these commands makes it easier to use ABAQUS 6.14-5 along with FORTRAN
and VISUAL STUDIO. The picture included shows exactly how to do this. By adding these commands,
users can make the most out of ABAQUS 6.14-5 for their computational simulations and improve their
work efficiency.

Following these steps, it's essential to verify the setup using the "Abaqus verify -all" command in the
ABAQUS 6.14-5 environment. This verification process ensures that everything is configured correctly
and ready for use. Simply execute the mentioned command within the ABAQUS 6.14-5 environment to
confirm the integrity and compatibility of the configurations. The attached pictures below provide a
visual representation of this verification step, offering a helpful reference for users. In essence, running
"Abaqus verify -all" is the final checkpoint to ensure that the ABAQUS 6.14-5, FORTRAN, and VISUAL
STUDIO components are properly connected and functioning as intended.
