initial stress and strain

I have a question about Initial Stress and Strain sub-node in Solid Mechanics. I use Viscoelastic material with Init stress and strain sub-node in a time-dependent study. There is also some another module which is steady and solved together with solid mechanics by time-dependent solver. I want to update solid mechanics at each step by the results calculated in the secod module. May I use for this Initial Stress and Strain, or this sub-node is for the initialization at t==0 only? I found in the documentation that Init Stress and Strain can be used for the model coupling,but it is uclear for me how I can update the time-dependent solution at each time-step. I'm also using initial values for the variables solved for in the Solver (v4.2).
Have anybody used this feature?
Thanks a lot,
Regina
