    This document discusses using initial state files in ANSYS to define the residual stress field from a previous thermal-structural analysis as the starting condition for additional simulations. The INISTATE command can automatically write an initial state file with element stresses, strains, or manually write one. The file is then read in subsequent simulations using INISTATE to include the residual stresses in the model's starting state. This allows efficiently carrying residual stresses between simulations to evaluate their combined effect with operational stresses.

    INITSTATE EXAMPLE

    ROBERTO SILVA
    INITIAL STATE

    This example is originated from a thermal-structural analysis

    One reason for performing a thermal-structural study of the


    welding process is to evaluate the residual stress field.

    Recall that residual stresses are summed to the operational


    stresses.
    TOTAL DESIGN RESIDUAL

    Since the thermal-structural study can be computationally


    very complex (large files), an efficient approach is to write a
    special initial state file, that can be read on other simulations.
    INITIAL STATE

    The first step is to create an initial state file (*.ist) to be read.


    File can be manually by the user

    File can be automatically written by ANSYS, using the INISTATE


    command (shown next).

    The automatic creation is recommended, since it provides


    more precise results, but a file can be manually created if a
    previous simulation is not available.
    INITIAL STATE

    INISTATE command sintax for creation of files.

    INISTATE, WRITE, 1, , , , CSID, Dtype

    CSID defines reference coordinate system for results.


    0 : uses the Global Cartesian System
    -1 or MAT : based on material coordinate system
    -2 or ELEM : based on elements coordinate system
    Dtype defines which result will be written.
    S : output stresses
    EPEL : output elastic strain
    EPPL : output plastic strain
    INITIAL STATE

    INISTATE is used again for reading the initial state file.

    INISTATE, READ, Fname, Ext

    In WorkBench, initial state file has the file.ist default name.


    The same procedure for copying results files in submodeling
    and thermal-structural simulations can be used.

    Use this at the initial state


    /COPY, file, ist, , file, ist, ..\..\ model, at the Solution folder

    Use this at the main model, at


    /COPY, file, ist, ..\..\, file, ist
    the Environment folder
    INITIAL STATE

    If a reference analysis is unavailable, initial state can be


    entered directly by two INISTATE instructions.

    INISTATE, SET, DTYP, Data Type


    INISTATE, DEFINE, Elid, Eint, Klayer, ParmInt, Cxx, Cyy, Czz, Cxy, Cyz, Cxz

    Data Type is the type of result (as the previous labels shown)
    Elid is the element number (ALL can be used)
    Elint is the Gauss integration point
    ParmInt is the section integration point for shells and beams
    Cxx ... Cxz are the component values
    INITIAL STATE

    Example: consider a plate with a hole.


    First, a thermal study is defined to calculate temperature field.
    A structural study is carried on, evaluating stresses due to temperature
    distribution.
    Residual thermal stresses are used as initial condition for the model,
    when subjected to a tensile load.
    INITIAL STATE

    Initial stress state evaluation.

    Temperature distribution from


    thermal study

    INISTATE, WRITE, 1, , S
    Stress distribution

    /COPY, file, ist, , file, ist, ..\..\


    INITIAL STATE

    Initial stress state reading.

    /COPY, file, ist, ..\..\, file, ist


    INISTATE, READ, file, ist
