Topology optimization using output from Abaqus/Explicit into Abaqus/Standard

I have an assembly in Abaqus/Explicit which is subjected to a sudden recoil.

At a certain time during the recoil, the forces/acceleration acting on one or more of the parts is at its highest absolute value.

I want to optimize the topology of one of the parts in the assembly with respect to the mentioned forces/accelerations on the other parts, i.e the part I want to optimize is subjected to a load that comes from the other parts having an acceleration.

I wonder...
Is there any way of getting the force output from every node of any desired part at any point in time, saving it and using that as an input for a predefined field or something similar for the exact same assembly but in Abaqus/Standard where I want to carry out the topology optimization?

You can try using import capability to send results from Explicit to Standard. This is described in the documentation chapter "Transferring results between Abaqus/Explicit and Abaqus/Standard".
