The compression stage is not necessary, of course.
It depends on what you want to simulate. The original script probably simulated some experiment with prestress and one outcome is tanPhi = shear stress / normal stress (which is meaningless for zero normal stress).

If you need to model only shear, then model only shear.

For some cohesive materials, also pre-tension + shear could be applied
:-)

It is really up to you.

cheers
Jan
