I'd like to know if there is the possibility in ABAQUS to change the section on the same model after a particular step and then launch a second step with the same model, another section but the results from the previous step.
Probably it's better with an example: imagine to have a block of aluminium, I put a force somewhere and I get some deformation. Than I want to keep that deformation as input and I want to launch a second step with the same block but in this case I prefer to have it in titanium and not aluminium.
For you does not make sense but I need to know if I can do it with ABAQUS and in case how.
Thanks a lot

Hi,

I am not sure but perhaps results mapping is solution for your problem.
Please take a look for following documentation chapter: 12.4.1 Mesh-to-mesh solution mapping and *MAP SOLUTION keyword.
