Hello,
I have applied initial plastic strain in Abaqus using *Initial Conditions, type=Plastic strain and I want to use the corresponding initial stress value but Abaqus always initialize stress as zero despite the value of initial plastic?
Can you help to overcome this problem, please?
Thanks,
Best regards,
 
Start from a single element test with and without loading. Apply initial strain to this element and read PE variable as well as other outputs. This way you should be able to see how this exactly works.
