Dear All,
Regarding the option of incorporating geometric imperfections by using an external input file, what would be the template of that file? Namely, when you have several instances and thus, several nodes labelled as node 1, node 2....

Just to clarify, let me add that I am not adopting the buckling modes approach but instead defining directly the 3 components of each node offset.
