Repeated Drop

Hi Abaqus users,
   I would like to simulate the drop of an object to a rigid floor, 
let it bounce back a bit, stop the analysis. With this deformed 
state after the drop, I will bring the object back to its original 
initial velocity (as in the first analysis), and drop the object 
again.
   What is the best way to simulate this repeated drop? I am using 
ABAQUS/explicit (there is no dat file produced). How do I read in 
the deformed state into the new analysis? Thanks!
