Reply To: How to apply a stress as an initial load state ?

[marie-charlotte.picard]

If I use a linear material with nlgeom, on, I don't find the same result on the 2 simulations, but if I put nlgeom, off, I do find the same results.

Thanks for this explanation, it's much clearer.

I'd like to use the inistate command in my simulation, but I have a non-linear material in large deformations. Do you have any solutions to help the simulation converge?

Thank you for your help,
Charlotte.
