C++ and Fortran Interface 1

[garwai85]

Hello,

I have another question. Does anyone know how to run ABAQUS from C++ or Fortran? What commands do I need to enter to do this? Is there a reference that you might have that might be able to help me with this interfacing?

Thanks,
AGY

From Fortran this is very simple, using the CALL SYSTEM command (or CISSUE using Silverfrost FTN95)

CALL SYSTEM('C:\ABAQUS\6.7-1\exec\abq671.exe job=file')

where file is your model name minus the .inp extension.

In C++ you can commonly use system()

int system(
const char *command
);

I am not very familiar with Linux, but under Windows there are additional options for launching processes; you could check the exec(), popen() and spawn() family of commands.
