Export / Import model state without restart analysis

Hi everyone,

I ran a rather long coupled temperature displacement analysis a while ago, and now I want to run some further analysis of what happens to the model after what I analyzed. I didn't anticipate needing to do this at the time, so I didn't write a restart file. Is there a good way to import my temperatures and stresses as an initial model state straight from the .obd file? Or am I just out of luck? Any suggestions?

Thanks!
