How to propagate predefined stress field in Abaqus across multiple steps?

How to propagate predefined stress field in Abaqus across multiple steps?

How to propagate predefined stress field in Abaqus across multiple steps?

(OP)
Hello Everyone,

I am doing one Abaqus simulation in which I have used user subroutine to define initial stress condition in the geometry. However, I see that this stress condition gets modified and is not propagated as it is across subsequent Abaqus steps. Can anyone suggest me any possible solution to ensure that predefined stress-fields remain as it is subsequent Abaqus steps? In each step I am using different loads to see how they interact with initial stress field.

Thank you in advance,

Nik
