Predefined field on a changed geometry

Dear all,

Perhaps can you help me...I hope!

1) In a first simulation is my workpiece deformed.

2) I import it, (so I have now an orphan mesh), I delete one element, I create another element, and I use a predefined field (initial state), coming from the first simulation(1).

3)I launch the simulation again with the same parameters as the first simulation.

4)When I looked at the results, at frame 0, there are stresses on the workpiece (the one coming from the first simulation), BUT the geometry of my workpiece is the one from the end of the first simulation !!! (Though the geometry has beem changed in (2) ) Why ???? What can I do ?

Shouldn't I have the new geometry with the 2 new elements, no stresses on these two new elements and the stresses of the end of (1) on the other elements?
For now I have the geometry and the stresses of the end of (1)...

Thank you very much for any remarks.

Doug
