When I used this Initial Stress Shell data for tensile simulation, the test section of the shell suddenly disappeared. However, when I ran the tensile simulation without adding the Initial Stress Shell, the process proceeded normally.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&#8221;vertical-align: inherit;&#8221;&gt;&lt;span style=&#8221;vertical-align: inherit;&#8221;&gt;<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/27-11-2024-1732691415-D3Plot exp state1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"390\" height=\"152\" \/>&lt;br&gt;<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/27-11-2024-1732691396-D3Plot exp state2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"390\" height=\"152\" \/>&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am unsure whether it is inappropriate to directly add the Initial Stress Shell keyword for the simulation or if it was not correctly referenced.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&#8221;vertical-align: inherit;&#8221;&gt;&lt;span style=&#8221;vertical-align: inherit;&#8221;&gt;<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/27-11-2024-1732691460-Initial Stress shell .png\" alt=\"\" width=\"516\" height=\"312\" \/>&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I found some web pages related to history variables, but I couldn&#8217;t determine what these six variables specifically represent.
