*PRESTRESS HOLD
Keep rebar prestress constant during initial equilibrium solution.

This option is used within a *STATIC step (“Static stress analysis,” Section 6.2.2 of the Abaqus Analysis User's Guide) to keep the stress in some or all of the rebar constant during the initial equilibrium solution.

Product: Abaqus/Standard  

Type: History data

Level: Step

Reference:
There are no parameters associated with this option.

Data lines to hold the prestress constant: 

First line:

  1. Element set name.

  2. Rebar name. The stress in all rebar included in the above element set will be held fixed throughout the step.

  3. Etc.

Repeat this data line as often as necessary. Give four pairs of data per line.
