Thanks both!
I have managed to do it by exporting the deformation field first and then making it as an input file that can be read with the model inp.file.
Thanks for your help and suggestions!
Thanks for your reply. It seems that the guy in the following thread (as you have mentioned) successfully implemented the displacement field using the Mapped Field so I am wondering what is the difference between us?

Sorry to confuse you and I know it would be a little bit difficult to explain.
It is quite common in our field so yes, I definitely know what I'm trying to do and please I just need help with doing it in Abaqus.
I would apply a set of loads to the original model (G0) to get deformed geometry (G1), then the displacement field (D = G1-G0) will be subtracted from the original geometry (G0), not the deformed geometry (G1) as you have mentioned.
The reason is that the original model (G0) was reconstructed...
Yes. I would like to get something similar to what you described. Basically, I would like to apply a load to the initial geometry to get deformations, then this deformation field will be subtracted from the initial geometry so that I can get the geometric models before the load is applied.
I was following the thread you provided. However, as I have mentioned: after I created a mapped field with Odb mesh in 'Analytical Field', I could not select it from 'Distribution - Displacement/Rotation - BCs' (only Unifrom and User-defined existed).

Hi,
I want to input the displacement of nodes calculated from the last simulation as a boundary condition for the new simulation (same geometry and mesh).
I have tried to create the mapped field with Odb mesh, following the instructions from the User's Manual. However, after...
