structural mechanics problem on stress

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello everyone,
I am new to this software. i wish someone could help me through this problem.

I have working on a problem i.e. which consist of two stopes (ore body) in an underground mine which are to be excavated and back filled and then another is excavated. I have created 4 physics- solid mechanics and under the

1st solid mechanics- defined the geometry and given all boundary conditions
2nd solid mechanics- for the excavation(selected the domains which were not to be excavated)and gave the initial stress under linear elastic material 1
3rd solid mechanics- backfill of the excavated part

Q. how to carry over the stress from 1st to 2nd solid mechanics and further to 3rd solid mechanics

What I have done- under the intial stress I have done as follows

figure 1
Is this step correct or anything else we have to to do?

And for carrying to stressfrom 2nd to the 3rd solid mechanics I have as follows
figure 2
I hope this question makes sense!

Many thanks for reading. I am very interested to see what people say about this.
