Is it possible to superpose stress field from two odb files in ABAQUS? 1

[mylove2008]

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am facing the following problem with ABAQUS: I have to run a model with two load cases (let's say A and B). But for some reasons, I am not allowed to run load cases A and B together in one input file. Instead, I have to run the model for the two load cases in two separated input files and get two ODB files. Now, I need to superpose the results(stresses, strain) in the two separated ODB files to see the final result. Is it possible to do that in ABAQUS or does everybody know any tool to do this task?

Thank you very much in advance for your answer!
Best regards,
Mylove

If your analysis is linear , I think Abaqus lets you creating load cases and super-impose the results for each load case.

If this is the case, see 6.1.3 Multiple load case analysis in User's Manual.
