plastic strains

Hello everyone,

I need some help regarding the definition of initial residual stresses and plastic strains in a shell finite element (S4R) model in ABAQUS/Explicit.

I have determined the residual stress distributions and initial plastic strains and I need to assign these distributions to a given element set.

I understand I should be looking at:

*INITIAL CONDITIONS, TYPE=STRESS

 ELSET_A, S11, S22, S33
