Hello to everyone,

I am using Abaqus CAE to model machinig. I want to include the residual stress (material and machining residual stress) into my model.

Firstly I want to introduce homogeneous residual stress in Shell surface (I am using Shell element S4R and reduced integration).

In the future my intention will be to introduce non-uniform residual stress in Shell surface.

Does anybody have the example of how to employ SIGINI in Shell element.

I do not find in abaqus documentation any example of how to apply in Shell element.

The following code is for solid element. How can I modify in order to applying the load in Shell element?

SIGINI(SIGMA,COORDS,NTENS,NCRDS,NOEL,NPT,LAYER,

Thanks in advance,
