Hi,

 

Thanks for contacting us. To export the deformed mesh and final material properties from the first simulation and use them as initial conditions for a second simulation in Mechanical, you can follow these steps:

1. Insert a new Mechanical System in the Project Schematic page of Workbench.
2. Connect the Engineering Data cell of the first system to the Engineering Data for the new system.
3. Connect the Solution cell of the first system to the Model cell of the second system.
4. Update the Solution/Results cells in the first system if necessary.

When you open Mechanical in the second system, you should see the deformed shape/mesh ready for further analysis [1]. 

I hope this answer helps.

Thanks,

Pedram
