ZEUS-NL Compilation Procedure

This document describes the compilation procedure for ZEUS-NL. This information is useful for users

who want to implement their own material/element/joint models into ZEUS-NL and/or need to build the

program from modified source files.

In order to compile the source code of ZEUS-NL which is written in FORTRAN 77, an f77 compiler is

required. The preferred compiler for Windows platform is Absoft Pro Fortran. For UNIX/LINUX systems

GNU FORTRAN compilers (g77, gfortran) could be used. In the flowing sections, instructions for the

compilation procedure with Absoft Pro Fortran and gfortran are provided.

Compiling ZEUS-NL on Windows with Absoft Pro Fortran

Complier

Current Windows version of ZEUS-NL is complied with Absoft Pro Fortran for Windows v7.5.

Source Files

Source code of ZEUS-NL consists of two parts: Reader and Solver

File extension *.f : FORTRAN files

*.obj : object files

*.gui : Absoft project file

Compiling on Windows Systems

1. Open the project file (reader.gui or solver.gui) with the Absoft Pro Fortran

The project (or solution) file with the extension of .gui contains all source files

(FORTRAN 77 files and header files).

The Absoft project files are also provided with FORTRAN source files on our website.

2. Modify/Update necessary source files including header files (*.inc)

3. Compile the modifies source files to generate object files

Here, it is important to check the compilation options. After clicking the right mouse button

on the file tree, select Set Options from the pop-up menus. In the Options menu, you

have to carefully examine the options for the compilation.

4. Build the program to generate executable files

Compiling ZEUS-NL on UNIX/LINUX with gfortran

1. Modify/Update necessary source files including header files (*.inc)

2. Compile the modifies source files to generate object files

g77 -c file_name.f

option -c: make object file

3. Build the program to generate executable files

g77 executable_file_name file1_name.o file2_name.o

The batch files for step 2 and 3 are available on our website.
