Initial stress/strain for steel material

Hi I'm curious on how to model the initial stress or strain for material models such as steel in SeimoStruct. It seems there's no direct way to input the intial stress or strain values within the material model's parameters input. Is there any other ways could be used to consider this?

Many thanks for any suggestion and comment.

No unfortunately, this is not possible. If you are trying to model prestressing, unfortunately this cannot be modelled directly by the program.
