Coupling Stationary study -> Time dependent does not work

$

Dear all,

I have a very simple model (attached): a 2D model where I impose an initial strain, that generates stress. This stress will be relaxed by creep. The stress caused by imposed strain is simulated by a Stationary step, and then the resulting state of stress is used by the Time Dependent step that involves creep.

Now the problem is: running the simulation, the stress at t=0 obtained by time dependent step is completely different from the stress obtained by Stationary step...why? If I'm not wrong, they should be identical: I get a stress state from the stationary step, and then I use it for the time dependent step, but at t=0 creep has not run yet...

I have tried to change in "Dependent Variables 2" (in Solver 1) "Initial Values of Variables Solved For" using the "Store Solution". I also used, before running the Time Dependent Step, "Get Initial Value for Step" on the Time Dependent icon, but in this case again I obtain as initial value a stress state completely different from that one obtained by Stationary Step.

Thank you very much for any suggestion!

Regards
Fabio
