*IMPORT

9.4 *IMPORT: Import informationfrom a previous ABAQUS/Explicit or

ABAQUS/Standard analysis.

Ifth is is an ABAQUS/Explicit analysis, this option is used to deﬁne the time in a previo us ABAQUS/Standard

analysis at which the speciﬁed node and element information is imported. If this is an ABAQUS/Standard

analysis,this option is used to deﬁne the time in a previous ABAQUS/Standard or ABAQUS/Explicit analysis

at which the speciﬁed node and element information is imported. The *IMPORToptionmustbeusedin

conjunction with the *INSTANCE option whenim portinga part instance from a previous analysis.

Required parameter:

UPDATE

Set UPDATE=NO to continue the analysis without resetting the reference conﬁguration.

Set UPDATE=YES to continue the analysis by resetting the reference conﬁguration to be the

imported conﬁguration. In this case displacement and strain values are calculated from the new

reference conﬁguration.

Optional, mutually exclusiveparameters:

INCREMENT

When importing an analysis from ABAQUS/Standard into ABA QUS/Explicit or from one

ABAQUS/Standard analysis into another ABAQUS/Standard an alysis, set this parameter equal to

the increment of the speciﬁed step on the ABAQUS/Standardrestart ﬁle from which the analysis

is to be imported. If this parameter is omitted, the analysis is imported from the last available

increment of the speciﬁed step.

INTERVAL

This parameter applies only to ABAQUS/Standard analys es.

When importing an analysis from ABAQUS/Explicit into ABAQU S/Standard, set this

parameter equal to the interval of the speciﬁed step on the ABAQUS /Explicit state ﬁle from which
