Re: Repeated Drop

Read about using *import and *initial conditions in the manuals. I 
believe that the deformed state is read in via the odb file not the 
dat file.  You may need to run through a 'dummy' implicit job before 
importing the results of an explicit job into another. Please read 
sect 7.7.2 in the user Abaqus Analysis User's Manual.
