Intel recently replaced Intel Parallel Studio XE with Intel oneAPI and I could not find the student version on their website.
ABAQUS 6.14 AND WINDOWS 10 COMPATIBILITY INSTALL
If you are a student, you can also install Intel Parallel Studio free using a student license. While installation, make sure that you install Desktop Development with C++, especially MSVC v141 and MSVC v140 componenets. You can find a free Community version of Visual Studio 2019, which is good enough. While the order of installation does not really make a difference, if you install Visual Studio before installing Intel Fortran, Fortran will be linked to Visual Studio automatically.

I installed all of them on Windows 10 and this tutorial is for Windows 10 OS. Most of them are based on my own experience. The following table shows the compatible versions of Intel Fortran and Visual Studio for ABAQUS. While you can write subroutines in either FORTRAN or C++, I found that learning materials for writing in FORTRAN is more available on the internet. Here, I am going to summarize the compatibility between different version of Fortran, Microsoft Visual Studio, and ABAQUS and then show how you can link them successfully. Different compatibility of each ABAQUS version makes it even more challenging. Compiling a Fortran subroutine and linking it with ABAQUS is not an easy process. However, if you want to describe a constitutive material model or develop a finite element that is not yet implemented in the ABAQUS libraries, you need to develop your own user subroutine from scratch and then integrate it with ABAQUS solver. ABAQUS has a vast library of elements and materials for any researcher or engineer who wants to model different responses of solids.
