FEAP interaction with .f90 subroutines

[fede5590]

Hi FEAP users,
I am running a FEAP version 8.3 on Windows and I wrote a new element in .f90 format (elmt51.f90).
Apparently FEAP has some issue with that because in the output file I get:

  *ERROR* ELMLIB: Element:     0, type number 51 input, isw =  1
 RANK =   0

Is there something that I need to set to use .f90 files with FEAP?
Thank you

Federica

It should work fine.  However, FEAP only allows for 50 elements so try a lower number and things should be fine.

One other thing is to make sure the file compiled.  If you are using Visual Studio it probaly do it. However, if you are using a makefile you may need to modify -- see the topics on compiling f90 in the topics list of the forum

Thank you very much Professor. I changed the number and now I get  *WARNING* Dummy subroutine called.
I am using Visual Studio 2010 and I am able to compile the file.
I tried with anther element but with a .f format and it works, so I really guess that the issue is related to the .f90 extension.

You need to make sure that visual studio is adding your new element to your project.
