Hi, all... As I understand you need either c++ or Fortran compiler in order to run subroutines, or do you need both? Just want a free software, not a fancy environment, which do I choose? Recommendations?

Do I need to set env variables?

RE: abaqus prerequisites

Do you foresee a need to run subroutines? If not, then you don't need the compilers. That said, Abaqus definitely isn't a "free software"

RE: abaqus prerequisites

(OP)
I'm aware of that, but in order to run subroutines I don't want to buy a compiler if I don't need to, since this isn't an everyday routine for me. I just want a compiler.

But do you also need to define environment variables?

RE: abaqus prerequisites

Environment variables are automatically created during installation. You can modify them, if you want new or non-default settings.

RE: abaqus prerequisites

For fortran, they support the intel compiler. For C++, I believe it's intel on linux and microsoft's compiler on windows. I've seen stuff with people getting gfortran to work, but it requires you to modify the environment variables in the abaqus_v6.env file to accommodate. Google around to see what people have done. It's not necessarily straightforward.

Again, if you don't need to actually use the functionality provided by user subroutines, you don't need the compiler.
