<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:#002060">Depending on the complexity of your model boundaries, you may be able to achieve the desired internal stress state with the “surface traction” load option. If you select the “general” traction
type (rather than the default “shear”), you can specify loading vectors that are oblique to the surface. I’ve used this approach successfully for relatively simple models but it can be a bit tedious specifying all the necessary surface loads to achieve a
stable/balanced internal stress state.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
