RE: Prestretching
When applying displacements/constraints to your periphery node set did you specify two different coordinate systems (cylindrical/global)? ABAQUS doesn't like that, and will give you an error like the one you described.
Good luck,

RE: Prestretching
Thank you so much for replying. My modeling involves two steps. In step one, I prestretched the part by applying uniform displacement on the periphery nodes in radial direction. In step 2, I wish to fix the prestretched periphery nodes (in all translational degree of freedom) and apply a pressure on it. I propagated step 1 to step 2 and specified the same cylindrical coordinates in both steps but was prompt with the error.
Please help. Thanks in advance!
