Programming Initial Conditions (stress) with Python

Programming Initial Conditions (stress) with Python

(OP)
Hi,

I would like to integrate an initial stress state in an Abaqus model via the Python subroutine.
I know that Initial stress is not supported in Abaqus/CAE. (see below). However the input file supports it.
Is it possible to find a way to program it via the Python interpreter?

Thanks for your help.

Regards
R



Defining initial stresses for rebars

Initial values of stress can also be defined for rebars within elements (see "Defining rebar as an element property," Section 2.2.4).
Input File Usage:              

*INITIAL CONDITIONS, TYPE=STRESS, REBAR


Abaqus/CAE Usage:       Initial stress is not supported in Abaqus/CAE.

May be this help..

mdb.models['Model-1'].KinematicHardening(definition=REBAR, name='rebar-hardening', region=region, field=', distributionType=MAGNITUDE, numBackStress=1, rebarLayerNames=('rebar-layer1', ), equivPlasticStrain=(0.00035, ), backStress=((0.2, ), ))

RE: Programming Initial Conditions (stress) with Python

You can use the Keyword editor to insert *initial conditions, from the Python script.

This is supported by the Abaqus Scripting Interface (Python-based).

See the KeywordBlock object in Abaqus Scripting Reference Manual.

Best.
