      Connections are not imported with deformed geometry, only the solid model itself is. The user could take the external model route (write out the cdb himself from the base analysis with the deformed geometry via UPGEOM command which is essentially what the linked analysis does). Going this route will get one step further as contact and other connections will be imported as well. However joints are not imported via External Model and the user would still have to manually set them up.
