Geometric Imperfection modifying on ANSYS

(OP)
I need a help to apply geometric imperfection in a steel girder by Ansys ...I use Ansys Classic ver 9.00 and want to apply initial out of plan deformations by an an equation equation(sinusoidal function)as an example to the nodes before run the analysis....could i have some helps?.

I have already released a thread about the issue (thread569-375249: Geometric Imperfections in Ansys) and have very helpful responses.

what I am looking forward to have is a way to modify the coordinate of the my model joints in z-direction by (to take the effect of the initial imperfections of a a thin walled beam) using a function results. is this could be done without run the model ? and how ?

regards,
Ahmed
