  I am trying to link UPF to Ansys WB V2023R1 and I get the following error

  I am currently having VS2019 and intel oneAPI (as I dont have older versions of the compilers). Please help me solve this issue.

  Hello, We currently don't support Intel OneAPI for compiling UPFs. For 2023R1, we support Intel Fortran 2019 update 5. If you have an Intel account and license for a compiler, you can get previous versions from the Registration Center. The unsupported compiler could be one of the issues with the linking process. What method of compiling/linking are you using? Can you also try renaming your subroutine to usercreep.F and then compile?
