      Hello, 

      I am having an issue with linking 2 simulations together (static structural); I want to use the results of the first simulation as the starting point of the second. 
      However, linking "Solution" from case 1 to "Setup" from case 2 doesn't seem to import the results. 

      Thank you in advance for your responses and help.

      Hi

      It is better to use one system with multiple steps (the above does not do what is needed).

      Search for multiple steps analysis.

      In 2023 R2 and 2024 R1 we also have the restart extension.

      All the best
