Initial conditions for stresses and node deflections

Initial conditions for stresses and node deflections

Initial conditions for stresses and node deflections

(OP)
Hi,

I am modeling the deck casting sequence of a bridge. I am using several concatenated models, but I need to define some initial conditions for stresses and for the new positions of the nodes which correspond to the previous analysis.

I appreciate any help.

Thanks,

NGC

You can import deformed shape from the odb file into a new model.

Sorry, I can not provide you the keyword. I normally use ABAQUS CAE.
