Rotating and translating mesh without using *System

Rotating and translating mesh without using *System

(OP)
Hi.

I have a very simlpe 2D-model in Abaqus CAE. I haved meshed it and used the input file in my research. Now I need to rotate and translate the mesh. I have used the tools in the "Instance" menu. But, when I write the input file, the node coordinates are the same, and instead *System is used, where the translating and rotating operations vectors are displayed. I need to have the new node coordinates! I.e. I want the mesh coordinates to be updated. Re-meshing is not an option. Does anyone know how to get around this in CAE?
