In Abaqus, you can indeed use inelastic (or plastic) prestress. Defining prestress that exceeds the elastic limit implies that the material is already in a plastically deformed state before the analysis begins. This can be modelled in Abaqus by defining appropriate material properties and initial conditions.

Here's a general approach to model inelastic prestress:

Remember that modelling inelastic prestress is a complex task, and the details can vary depending on the specific materials, geometry, loading conditions, and analysis objectives. Careful consideration of the problem's physics and validation against known solutions or experimental data is crucial for building confidence in your model's predictions.
