How to propagate predefined stress field in Abaqus across multiple steps?

Hello Everyone,

I am doing one Abaqus simulation in which I have used user subroutine to define initial stress condition in the geometry. However, I see that this stress condition gets modified and is not propagated as it is across subsequent Abaqus steps. Can anyone suggest me any possible solution to ensure that predefined stress-fields remain as it is subsequent Abaqus steps? In each step I am using different loads to see how they interact with initial stress field.

Thank you in advance,

Nik
