Structural

Hello,

Is anyone familiar with modelling residual stresses and/or SIGINI subroutine?

The residual stress field I induce with SIGINI, disappears after the initial step of my analysis. Same thing happens when I try to induce residual stresses with an initial thermal analysis.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
