About Visual C++ Express Edition 2005

[felipestumpf]

Finally, after about one month, I could pass on Abaqus verification for use with subroutines and for Fortran Compiler requirements.
Since I have Abaqus 6.7-1, I installed it´s required Intel Fortran Compiler 9.1. But Microsoft Visual C++ 7.1 or 8.0 I don´t have, so I installed Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition, because I´ve seen in plenty foruns that it works for this version o Abaqus.
But Abaqus Verification fails when searching for "Abaqus make utility with C++".
Does anybody know if Visual C++ 2005 Express can be used for my application?
My verify.log file says the following:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Abaqus/Standard with user subroutines


...PASS

Continuing...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Abaqus/Explicit (single precision)


...PASS

Continuing...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Abaqus/Explicit (double precision)


...PASS

Continuing...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Abaqus/Explicit with user subroutines (single precision)


...PASS

Continuing...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------


Does it mean that, even not passing on "Abaqus make utility with C++" verification, I will be able to work with subroutines?
I´ve heard before that this verification for utility with C++ is not necessary once it passes through "Abaqus/Standard with user subroutines", is that right?

Thank you for all the help I´ve been getting in PolymerFEM.

You should not need to use "Abaqus make utilitity with C++" is all you need is to write a user-material subroutine.

Best of luck with your work.
