Update surface pressure based in next step

I currently have a model which applies a varying surface pressure based on a analytic field which varies in all three directions. I would like to apply a load in Step-1 then in Step-2 have the model update the surface pressures based on the new deflected coordinates.

Currently I have the surface pressure setup in step one and let it propagate to step two. However it is still using the models undeformed position to determine the applied surface pressure in the Step-2 instead of using the deflected position at the end of Step-1.

I have also tried not letting the load propagate but creating a new load with the same result. I am using Abaqus CAE 6.12 Windows 7

Thanks,
