predefined field in different assemblies

predefined field in different assemblies

(OP)
Hello all,

Quick question as I was not able to find something similar and cannot figure a way to do it.

I have an assembly of several parts. I run a simulation using abaqus explicit in one step where load is applied during half of the step and in the remaining step the assembly is unloaded.

Now I want to run another analysis however I want to remove parts of the assembly. Half of the parts are removed and the remaining are the same as in first analysis. I would like though to use the stresses, strains and displacements from the final step of the previous analysis. I tried using predefined field but I havent been successful.

Is there another way to do it? Or is it not possible at all?

RE: predefined field in different assemblies

check out *IMPORT in the Keyword Reference Guide and "importing and transferring results between abaqus analyses" in the Analysis User's Guide
