I opened the Workbench model provided in the KB link and understand the example.  The two models (static structural and transient structural) both use the same model (one is pre-stressed, the other uses that as an inuput). 

Is it possible for the originating (pre-stressed) model to feed into a more complex model that includes the pre-stressed part as one of the components?  That is my situation.  Please see attached.  Thanks -Workbench diagram of one model into another
