*INITIAL CONDITIONS
2. Initialmass flow rate per unit area in the x-direction or total initial m ass flow rate in the cross-
section for one-dimensional elements.
3. Initial mass flow rate per unit area in the y-direction (not needed for nodes associated with
one-dimensional convective flow elements).
4. Initial mass flow rate per unit area in the z-direction (not needed for nodes associated with
one-dimensional convective flow elements).
Repeat this data line as often as necessary to define mass flow rates at various nodes or node sets.
Data lines to prescribe initial plastic strains usingTYPE=PLASTIC STRAIN if the REBAR and
SECTION POINTS parameters are omitted:
First line:
1. Elementnum beror elem ent set label.
2. Valueof first plastic strain component, .
3. Valueof second plastic strain com ponent, .
4. Etc., up to six plastic strain components.
Give the plastic strain components as defined for this element type in PartV I, “Elements,” of the
ABAQUS Analysis User’s Manual. Values given on the data lines are applied uniformlyover the
element. In any element for which an *ORIENTATION option applies, the plastic strains must be
given in the local system (“Orientations,”Section 2.2.5 of the ABAQUS Analysis User ’sManual).
Repeat this data line as often as necessary to define initial plastic strains in variouselements or element
sets.
Data lines for TYPE=PLASTIC STRAIN, REBAR:
First line:
1. Elementnum beror elem ent set label.
2. Rebarn ame. If this field is left blank, the initial conditions will be a pplied to all rebars in the
model.
3. Initial plastic strain value.
Repeat this data line as often as necessary to define the initial plastic strain in the rebars of various
elements or element sets.
Data lines for TYPE=PLASTIC STRAIN, SECTION POINTS:
First line:
1. Elementnum beror elem ent set label.
2. Section point number.
3. Valueof first plastic strain component, .
4. Valueof second plastic strain com ponent, .
