I have a four layered structure on to which I have to apply a prestrain value at 350K and then I have to cool it to 300K and then to 77K.

So when I applied the prestrain value and tried to solve, the solver doesn’t converge. I thought it might be due to the initial prestrain value Iam giving. So what I did was I tried to give the prestrain value to the materials after making the contact pair kill in the first step. Then on the second step I made the contact alive. The solver solved the problem. But the issue is in the result. I cannot see the prestrain value in the initial step.

the prestrain value given was

inis,set,csys,-1

inis,set,dtype,epel

inis,set,mat,1

inis,defi,,,,,2.4455e-3,1.9427e-3,-2.2588e-3,2.4455e-3,1.9427e-3,-2.2588e-3,2.4455e-3,1.9427e-3,-2.2588e-3

The kill and birth command I given was

esel,s,type,gcn,

ekill, all

allsel

 

esel,s,type,gcn,

ealive, all

allsel

 

I really want a help to proceed , please help
