Q1: For ANSYS 10.0 and 11.0 on 32-bit Windows, the Intel Fortran 8.1 compiler and Microsoft Visual C++ .NET 2003 are required to use User-Programmable Features. However, Intel Fortran 9.1 and Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 are the current versions being sold.

Q2: During linking using Intel Fortran 9.1 and MS VS 2005, I get the following error:
unresolved external symbol ___powr8i4 referenced


A1: It seems that a customer can only purchase MS VS 2005. For Intel Fortran 9.1, the user can, however, download an earlier version from the Intel Download Center:
http://www.intel.com/software/products/registrationcenter/downloads
To use the Intel Download Center:
- login using their Intel Premier credentials
- click on Product Downloads
- click on Intel Visual Fortran Compiler, Standard Edition, for Windows
- set the version pull-down to 8.1
(- set the minor version pull-down to 042)

Note that if the user uses MS VS 2005 and Intel Fortran 8.1, the latter is not integrated in MS VS 2005 (Intel Fortran 8.1 is only integrated under MS .NET 2003). Hence, in this case, the 8.1 compilers would need to be run via the DOS command-line.

A2: This is most likely due to differences in math functions between Intel Fortran 8.1 and 9.1. (The error is related to using the power function, such as X**3.) Per above, it is recommended to use Intel Fortran 8.1, as that is the supported version for using UPFs in ANSYS 10.0 and 11.0 on 32-bit Windows.
