PARAM, ISTRSBAL

Bulk Data Entry Controls the application of initial stress over the nonlinear subcase.

Parameter Values Description
ISTRSBAL <0, 1>
0 (Default)
Initial stresses are applied incrementally over the nonlinear subcase which contains an INISTRS Subcase Information Entry to achieve equilibrium.
1
Initial stresses are applied at the first increment of the nonlinear subcase which contains an INISTRS Subcase Information Entry to achieve equilibrium.
