Fortran and Visual Studio for Abaqus:
As you may know, Abaqus user subroutines are written in Fortran language using Intel Fortran. Intel Fortran compiler needs to work under Microsoft Visual Studio. For many users, this is a challenge to find versions of Intel Fortran and Visual Studio compatible with their Abaqus version. If the version of your Fortran compiler does not correspond to that specified, incompatibilities may occur.
For a quick reference, you can see this Q&A:
What are the compatible versions of Intel Fortran and Visual Studio for my Abaqus version?
After many years of working with different versions of Abaqus, here we provide you with a list of compatible versions. We have tested these combinations and can assure you to work. Although, maybe you could find other compatibility sets.
In addition, we have a table for compatible versions of Intel Fortran and Visual Studio as follow if you want to try other versions:

If you got enough information about compatible Fortran and Visual studio of Abaqus but you do not know how to start writing a subroutine, you can find more information on the Abaqus subroutine blog post. If you want to get more information about some necessary steps to write a subroutine in FORTRAN, you can read Fortran ‘Must Knows’ for Writing Subroutines in Abaqus (PART I).
