Dear Abaqus users,
I am trying the aforementioned Linkage between Abaqus and Parallel Studio XE 2019. I have found alot of information on how to succeed, unfortunately none of the approaches worked for me. (For example, this one: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/313924098_Linking_ABAQUS_2017_and_Intel_Parallel_Studio_XE2016_Visual_Fortran_in_Windows_10_x64)

When starting Abaqus Command and typing "abaqus verify -user_std" it returns:
"ERROR . Abaqus did not complete successfully. Please see std_user.log for details."

Looking into std_user.log reveals "The command "ifort" is either spelled wrong or could not be found."

I also noticed that, compared to this solution (https://grabcad.com/tutorials/linking-abaqus-and-fortran), when I start up Abaqus, it doesn't seem to properly load Parallel Studio XE. In Step 6 of this link, it says that the Abaqus Command Window should show Parallel Studio on Startup. However, it does not do that for me. Instead it says:

"ifortvars.bat [-arch] [vs] [-platform ]

   must be is one of the following
       ia32         : Set up for IA-32 target
       intel64      : Set up for Intel(R) 64 target
   If specified, must be one of the following
       vs2013      : Set to use Microsoft Visual Studio* 2013
       vs2013shell : Set to use Microsoft Visual Studio* Shell 2013
       vs2015      : Set to use Microsoft Visual Studio* 2015
       vs2015shell : Set to use Microsoft Visual Studio* Shell 2015
       vs2017      : Set to use Microsoft Visual Studio* 2017
   If is not specified, the version of Visual Studio* detected at install
   time is used.
   must be of the following.
       linux          : Set to Linux* target.
       android        : Set to Android* target."

Any ideas on how to solve this?

I am using Abaqus 2018, a Test Version of Parallel Studio XE 2019 and Visual Studio 2017, all on Windows 10.

Edit: I suspect that it's a compatibility issue. I'll try to find an older version of Parallel Studio.
