hi Daniel,

It cannot be right to use IA32 directory on 64 bit OS, 'cause the name
'IA32' indicates that it's for 32 bit platforms.

You should be using AMD64 directory under Visual Studio, and EM64T
directory under Intel Fortran. If you're not, instead IA32 happens to work,
it can be concluded that there is something wrong, either with your
software, or with your installation, or with your hardware, or with
something else.
so please check your Abaqus version, then Visual Studio and Intel Fortran
installation and environment variables settings,  or maybe consult
the hardware provider and Abaqus office.

  Best regards,
