I have 2 models. The first one is an implicit static step working with the UMAT. The second model imports the deformed parts of the first model to do dynamic explicit analysis through the VUMAT without modifying the mesh.
I want to import the stresses acting on each part at the end of the first step to be as the initial stresses of the second step.
How to do that through if I have stresses as txt file at integration points?
I have tried using predefined stress field, but I see there are differences in the imported stresses.
