I want to map the Von Misses stress generated for a 3D model in supposing Job-1, to run a new job on a similar CAE model but undeformed with similar material properties, mesh, boundary condition as an initial stress state from the previously obtained stress from Job-1. In Job-2 I want to apply different loading conditions once the stress is generated in the initial step. I have tried mesh-mesh mapping using the steps given in the ABAQUS manual but still not been able to map it. Also, I tried using a predefined field option from the Job-1 ODB to define the stress state, but it reports the ODB file cannot be located.
Any suggestions or help will be highly appreciated.

Using the predefined field option from the Job-1 ODB, the initial stress state can be defined. It should be noted that all output files should be placed in C:\Temp. So, it is better to put your initial .CAE in C:\Temp and then submit the jobs in order.
Hello Iman, that was helpful, my initial .CAE file was not in C:\Temp, so probably it was not able to find the .odb file to map the stress in the new model.
