User Subroutine SIGINI: *Conflicts

Hello!

I'm using the subroutine SIGINI to specifiy predefined stresses in my model in abaqus CAE. This subroutine is not supported in Abaqus CAE, so I need to use the keyword editor to write the following entry:

INITIAL CONDITIONS, TYPE=STRESS, USER

This entry will call the subroutine when the analysis is started. The entry causes conflicts, however, and I'm not sure why.

In the keywords and the the inp.file there are two *Conflict blocks. One at the beginning and one at the end.

The conflict block at the beginning says:
*Conflicts, Generated keywords
*Conflicts, User edited keywords
*Conflicts, Generated keywords
*Conflicts, End of conflict block

The one at the end:
*Conflicts, User edited keywords
*INITIAL CONDITIONS, TYPE=STRESS, USER
*Conflicts, End of conflict block

I think that I insert the entry at the right position, on model level right before *Step. I tried to insert it at different positions but it didn't change anything.

Does anyone have some experience with SIGINI and conflicts?

Kind regards,
Peter

I think I need to add that my model is based on a Python Script. When start the script with "Run Script" a model is created, the keywords get updated with "INITIAL CONDITIONS, TYPE=STRESS, USER" and a job is started afterwards. The job is aborted and the keywords contain two *Conflict blocks.

When I delete the *Conlict blocks, move "INITIAL CONDITIONS, TYPE=STRESS, USER" to the right position and start the job again, manually this time, the analysis will complete without any errors.

I suspect that the generated and the edited keywords interfere but I don't know how. I didn't define any other stresses. Maybe there is another reason but I can't find it.

Regards,
Peter
