PROPERTY INITIAL ISTRESS [icname] part S11 etc.

        

This command is used to apply initial stresses to elements. Up to six stress components may be entered.

icname = name of the initial condition, used at later references.

part = part that shall have specified stresses, line, surface, body or set.

S11 = direct stress in global x axis.

S22 = direct stress in global y axis.

S33 = direct stress in global z axis.

S12 = shear stress in global x-y plane

S13 = shear stress in global x-z plane

S23 = shear stress in global y-z plane

Examples:

1.

PROPERTY INITIAL ISTRESS 1 2 3 4 5 6

Define an initial stress tensor to all elements on B1.
