Hi,

I am trying to use newly implemented element "COD2d4p" and "COD3d8p" (cohesive elements). However, I receive an error code 1073741819. I guess I am giving the correct inputs and the code is correct because I do not have any error on my .dat and .msg file. The point is that my .msg file just stops at the first step without even running it. I searched for that error on internet and I realised that it was an error in the older version of ABAQUS (6.13) and all the solutions are for that version. However, the newer version of ABAQUS (2016) is a bit unique in terms of its installation and naming of the files with compare to the previous versions.

I tried to apply the solution that people were mentioning in the previous versions (i.e. rename the mkl_avx2.dll to mkl_avx2.dll.11.0.0.1 ) but it did not solve my problem. Can someone help me to understand whether it is my coding problem or conflict of different version of my ABAQUS or something else.

Thanks,

Navid

P.S. The error is:

aborted with error code 1073741819.

Please check the .dat, .msg, and .sta files (I do not have .sta file because the solver has not started yet) for error messages if the files exist. If there are no error messages and you cannot resolve the problem, please run the command "abaqus job=support information=support" to report and save your system information. Use the same command to run Abaqus that you used when the problem occurred. Please contact your local Abaqus support office and send them the input file, the file support.log which you just created, the executable name, and the error code.
