ABAQUS Volume II: I–Z - Manual (Page 34)

*IMPORT
the analysis is to be imported. If this parameter is omitted, the analysis is imported from the last
available interval of the specified step.
ITERATION
This parameter is relevant only when the results are imported from a previous direct cyclic
ABAQUS/Standard analysis.
When importing an analysis from ABAQUS/Standard into ABAQUS/Explicit or from one
ABAQUS/Standard analysis into another ABAQUS/Standard analysis, set this parameter equal to
the iteration number of the specified step on the ABAQUS/Standard restart file from which the
analysis is to be imported. Since restart information can be written only at the end of an iteration in
a direct cyclic analysis, the INCREMENT parameter is irrelevant and is ignored if the ITERATION
parameter is specified. If this parameter is omitted, the analysis is imported from the last available
iteration of the specified step.
Optional parameters:
STATE
Set STATE=YES (default) to import the current material state of the elements at the specified step
and the specified interval, increment, or iteration.
Set STATE=NO if no material state is to be imported. In this case the elements will start with
no initial state or with the state as defined by the *INITIAL CONDITIONS option.
STEP
Set this parameter equal to the step on the ABAQUS/Explicit state file or on the ABAQUS/Standard
restart file from which the analysis is being imported. If this parameter is omitted, the analysis is
imported from the last available step on the state file or the restart file at the specified increment,
interval, or iteration.
Data lines to specify element sets to be imported:
First line:
1. List of element sets that are to be imported. Specify only element set names that are used
to define the section properties in the previous ABAQUS/Explicit or ABAQUS/Standard
analysis.
Repeat this data line as often as necessary to define the element sets to be imported. Up to 16 element
sets can be listed per data line.
There are no data lines for importing a part instance.
