Description: The initial pore pressure values can now be defined using nodal pore pressure output variables from the output database (.odb) file of a previous Abaqus/Standard analysis. Similarly, initial stresses can be defined using stress output variables from the output database file of a previous Abaqus/Standard analysis. You must specify the step and the increment numbers of the analysis from which the variables are read. In addition, you must define the previous model and the current model consistently. The node and element numbering must be the same in both models. If the models are defined in terms of an assembly of part instances, part instance naming must be the same.
