Hello all,

I would like to know how to build known states of stress in a separate step at the beginning of the analysis.
What are the commands in python to use in order to do so.

I read in the 6.6ef Doc that the Stress Object could be used but it seems that in the 6.7-1 the Stress Object is not avaiblable anymore and the use of SIGINI is needed.
As far As I know, using Sigini and python preprocessing is not that easy.

Thanks for your support
