Hi all,
I'm modelling a cavern group of FLAC3D but I have a state of stress that is not parallel to the axes. Sigma1 is rotated of about 106 degrees from horizontal.When I inizialize stresses I write "zone initialize stress xx --- yy --- zz ---".But is not correct.
Somebody can help me?

Thanks a lot
