Furthermore, the very first iteration of OpenGeoSys is performed +already at the first load step, i.e., OpenGeoSys does not perform a stress +integration with the IC values. That differs, e.g., from the mtest executable +shipped with MFront, which, initially does a stress integration with the ICs +values. If your model needs such a stress integration step, you must make sure +that you prepend an initial, artificial load step. If you observe convergence +issues during the local stress integration in the very first iteration of +OpenGeoSys, you should consider adding such a load step, in particular if mtest +succeeds to integrate the same load path.
