State of the art simulations of heavy ion collisions employ so-called hybrid models, which involve relativistic (possibly viscous) hydrodynamics coupled to a transport model. Switching between these two approaches should be done in the region, where the system is approaching thermodynamical equilibrium. In practice, when the initial state of hydrodynamics is generated from transport, pressure anisotropies can be present and non-diagonal components of energy-momentum tensor can be significant. In this talk, the energy-momentum tensor is explored in a coarse-grained transport and the hypersurface is found, where local equilibrium is reached.
