select the instances to which the initial state should be assigned
Identifying the analysis from which the data will be obtained
You must specify the name of the job from which the model and results data will be obtained.
Input File For all models you can enter the following input on the command line: Usage:
abaqus job=job-nameoldjob=oldjob-name
If the oldjob parameter is omitted, Abaqus will prompt for the job name (see “Abaqus/Standard, Abaqus/Explicit, and Abaqus/CFD execution,” Section 3.2.2).
Alternatively, for models defined as assemblies of part instances, you can use the following option:
*INSTANCE, LIBRARY=oldjob-name
If you import more than one part instance, the oldjob-name specified by the LIBRARY parameter must be the same for each imported part instance.
If the job name is specified on the command line using the oldjob
option, the command line specification will take precedence over the LIBRARY parameter.

Importing model data
Element property definitions of imported elements can be redefined only if the reference configuration is updated (see “Updating the imported configuration”) and the material state is not imported (see “Importing the material state”). In this case the material orientation definitions (“Orientations,” Section 2.2.5), hourglass stiffness but not hourglass control definitions, and transverse shear stiffness definitions (in the case of shell elements) of the imported elements can also be redefined.
For other reference configuration and material state combinations, the information required to define the section for each imported element will be imported from the original analysis. Material orientations cannot be redefined in the import analysis; orientation names cannot be reused in the import analysis. For imported elements, the material orientations will be transferred from the original analysis. Transverse shear stiffness for imported shell elements cannot be redefined; the values will be transferred from the original analysis. Hourglass stiffness for the imported elements cannot be redefined in an Abaqus/Standard import analysis; the default values will be used. The section control definitions (kinematic formulation, order of accuracy in the element formulation, and hourglass control approach) to be used for imported elements cannot be redefined (see “Transferring results between Abaqus/Explicit and Abaqus/Standard,” Section 9.2.2, for details).
Only nodes associated with the imported elements are imported. New nodes can be defined in the import analysis.
Nodes or elements that use the same numbers as nodes or elements being imported can be defined provided that the reference configuration is updated, the material state is not imported, and the import is not done from an instance library. The new definitions will overwrite the imported definitions. If the reference configuration is not updated, new nodes or elements cannot use the imported node and element numbers irrespective of whether or not the material state is imported.
During results transfer from an Abaqus/Standard analysis to another Abaqus/Standard analysis or from an Abaqus/Explicit to another Abaqus/Explicit analysis, the coordinates of imported nodes can be modified from their imported values by respecifying the nodal definitions if the reference configuration is updated and the material state is not imported. This modification of the coordinates of imported nodes is not allowed during transfer of results from Abaqus/Explicit to Abaqus/Standard or vice versa.
Importing model data defined by a distribution
While transferring results from one Abaqus/Standard analysis to another Abaqus/Standard analysis, most element or material properties defined by a distribution (see “Distribution definition,” Section 2.7.1) are imported along with the elements. The only exceptions are spatially varying thicknesses and orientation angles defined on the layers of composite shells and solids; in this case Abaqus issues an error message during input file preprocessing.
While transferring results from an Abaqus/Explicit analysis to an Abaqus/Standard analysis, the only spatially varying element properties defined by a distribution that can be imported are shell thicknesses and section orientations for shell and solid elements. If any other element or material properties are defined with a distribution, Abaqus issues an error message during input file preprocessing.
While transferring results from an Abaqus/Standard analysis to an Abaqus/Explicit analysis or from an Abaqus/Explicit analysis to another Abaqus/Explicit analysis, the only spatially varying element properties defined by a distribution that can be imported are shell thicknesses, section orientations for shell and solid elements, orientation angles defined on the layers of composite shells, and section stiffness matrices specified directly for general shell sections. If any other element or material properties are defined with a distribution, Abaqus issues an error message during input file preprocessing.
Importing results from an Abaqus/Standard analysis (other than a direct cyclic analysis)
If the results are imported from an Abaqus/Standard analysis, you can specify the step and increment in the restart file for which the results are to be imported. By default, the results written at the end of the analysis are imported.
Input File *IMPORT, STEP=step, INCREMENT=increment Usage:
For models that are defined as assemblies of part instances, the
*IMPORT option must appear within a part instance definition.
