Applying Initial Conditions

(OP)
I am using ABAQUS 6.9 and would like to apply a residual stress region on 2D Plate in a specific section.

I am trying to enter a compressive stress = -200E06 to a set called set-1. I read online that to apply a stress to a set the following must be entered:


*INITIAL CONDITIONS, type=stress
set_set-1, s11=-200E06,s22=-200E6


The code above must be entered before the steps in the edit keyword window under model, then a create a blank step after.

here are my questions:

1. Am i entering it correctly? i am getting an error message about *CONLFICTS.
2. Is this approach applicable? following this i will be performing crack analyses to determine the Contour Integrals.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
