Defining Initial Stress on Deformed Body using Command Objects — Lesson 1

How do you apply initial stress on a deformed geometry when using Ansys Mechanical™ capabilities inside Ansys Workbench™ software?

A static analysis is set to get deformed geometry and initial stress.

A second one is set to use both: The solution cell of the first analysis is linked to the model cell of the second to obtain the deformed geometry. External data is used to apply initial stress through Imported Load > Imported Initial Stress.
