problem *INITIAL CONDITIONS, TYPE=STRESS
problem *INITIAL CONDITIONS, TYPE=STRESS
(OP)
Hi,
does anybody have experience with the keyword (example):
*INITIAL CONDITIONS, TYPE=STRESS, GEOSTATIC
101, -100., 1.0, -100., 0.0, 1.0
for a CPE4 element.
I do not know how to read it. For example if I want to implement stresses into a single 3D element like this I would have wrote something like:
*INITIAL CONDITIONS, TYPE=STRESS, GEOSTATIC
element, -1, -1, -1
because of the 3 degrees of freedom for each node..
but it seems im not right.
can anybody explain how the inbitial conditions work?
thanks,
Anton

RE: problem *INITIAL CONDITIONS, TYPE=STRESS
Like I said though, look into the documentation for the fluid sloshing example. They used /Explicit and adaptive meshing for this one, but they had to preload the fluid using the geostatic initial conditions.
