In the second analysis, I modify the model (e.g., by introducing a crack), and I would like to use the stress state and deformed geometry from the first analysis as the initial condition.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The issue is that I cannot find a way to transfer the solution data (stress, strain, deformation, etc.) from one Static Structural analysis to another. I have considered using a multistep analysis, but since the model geometry\/mesh changes between the two analyses, that does not seem to be a suitable approach.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Is there a recommended workflow for transferring both the stress state and the deformed geometry from one Static Structural analysis to another when the model has been modified between analyses?&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-461038","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_topic_id":["461038"],"_bbp_subscription":["454340","240"],"_bbp_author_ip":["143.58.100.5"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["461109"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["461109"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2026-07-09 09:02:00"],"_bbp_reply_count":["1"],"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":["0"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_engagement":["454340","240"],"_btv_view_count":["22"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"]},"test":"ggege0524gmail-com"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/461038","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/461038\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=461038"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
