Reply To: Residual stress

Thank you so much for your help dear Mohan

Ican successfully export the stress, but thea problem is that, I want to apply them in such a way as there is no strain in the second analysis. is it possible in ansys? In fact Im trying to simulate a shaft that is cut from a prestressed metal. therefore first I should obtain the residual stress and then apply it on a straight shaft. In other words I must restore the deformation while conservating the stress.
