How to reset displacement to zero after a geostatic step?
(OP)
Hello,
I was wondering if there is a way to reset displacement to zero after a geostatic step (or any load step) in Abaqus?
Thanks in advance

do you need that in order to repeat the simulation under different loads or so?

RE: How to reset displacement to zero after a geostatic step?
In geotechnical soil analysis, after the initial stresses are calculated using gravity loading, the displacements should be reset to zero at the start of the next calculation step. This will remove the effect of initial stress generation procedure on the displacements developed during subsequent calculation steps, while the stresses remain.
