Hello, simple idea... using Nastran output file, actually it's "deformed" FEM, as an input "geometry" for Patran new pre-processing.

Am using SOL600 for metal deforming processes and I want to use already done contact analysis results(bended tube) and start a new analysis with it's deformed geometry(deformed FEM model), to apply new loads, but on it's deformed shape!
I was wondering does anyone know if it is possible and if it is what is the procedure to do it?!

Thanks in advance for helping me...
