Hello,

I am a complete beginner in Abaqus. I really appreciate any help about how to predicate residual stress in static load. I modelled thin steel plate,then I put a static load in it. I know how to get the max stress, but have no clue about residual stress.
Can i do it by Abaqus or i need another program?. How to do it by Abaqus. Can you please give me any tutorial?

Thanks !!
