Start abaqus with a VUMAT/UMAT on the cluster

To launch abaqus with a UMAT or a VUMAT on centaure you have to import the right fortran compiler e.g one that has ifort and that is compatible with the abaqus distribution used.

The following example worked:

module purge
module load intel/parallel_studio_xe_2020
module load abaqus/2018

Then to start the calculation, you have to point abaqus to the location of your UMAT/VUMAT:

abaqus job=jobName input=InputName.inp user=UMAT_Name.f scratch=$SCRATCH interactive
