Hi,

I am trying to introduce the stress from a previous job to a new job based on element number. The documentation suggests that the keyword in the input file should be
*initial conditions, type=stress, input=name.inp
I did not find any guidelines regarding how to write the input file for the stress values based on element number. If someone could help I would be grateful. This is explicit analysis and I do not want the stress results from all the elements of previous analysis. That is why I am taking this approach. Thanks in advance.
 
The INPUT parameter only indicates that the data lines for this keyword are in a separate .inp file. The syntax for 3D solid elements is:

Code:
*Initial conditions, type=stress
element_1, S11, S22, S33, S12, S13, S23
...
