Initial conditions can be prescribed using the InitialConditionSet object, with a similar syntax to Prescribed Displacements:

 icset = metafor.getInitialConditionSet()
 icset.define(target, field, ampl)
 icset.define(target, field, ampl, fctMultiChamps , fieldList)

 icset = domain.getInitialConditionSet()
 icset.define(target, field, ampl)
 icset.define(target, field, ampl, fctMultiChamps , fieldList)

where

target	GObject	meshed geometric entity where the initial condition is prescribed
field	Field1D	nodal variable to be prescribed
field	InternalField	Gauss-point variable to be prescribed
ampl	float	initial value
fctMulti	Function	spatial dependence
fieldList		list of dependency fields

Examples:
Initial temperature of 20°C for a volume:

 icset = metafor.getInitialConditionSet()
 icset.define(volumeset(1), Field1D(TO,AB), 20.0)

A space-dependent initial pressure at Gauss points:

 def pyFct(x, y):
    p = (2x+y)*1e4
    return p
 fctP = PythonMultiParameterFunction(pyFct, 2)
 
 icset = metafor.getInitialConditionSet()
 icset.define(sideset(1), IF_P, 1.0, fctP, FieldList(Field1D(TX,AB), Field1D(TY,AB)))
