How to solve for a physics, then use the results/outcome for a following analysis with different physics?

Hello,
1. Assume I have a simple bar/cantilever undergoing some mechanical force, and I solve for the deflection (this is straightforward - no problems here). Then, assume I want to use the bent/deflected bar as an antenna for example (or any other application like a harvester, resonator, etc). How do I use the results, or the solutions of this past physics, in my next physics? Meaning, I want to perform the new physics analysis/study on the BENT shape, not the original shape. How is this done?
2.. In general, my question is: if I need to perform/add a new analysis/study/physics on the RESULTS or OUTCOME of a previous study, how do I do that?
I hope I explained the problem well.

Hi
you have a couple of choices, either you truna first study, save it and use it as the initial condition for another new study (change the default settings of the dependent variable sub-node.
But notice that if you deform a beam by a force, then save the result, and restart a new study AND if you do not lkeave the applied force, your beam as it is stressed, it will relae to its stress free shape, hence probably end back to a straight line. So take some care hoe you apply the new BC and how you cpouple the BC frome one study to the next

Good luck

Thanks Ivar for your response.
May you please be a little more specific and give me more details? You mention that i have to "change the default settings of the dependent variable sub-node."
Where is that done from?
You also said that I have a couple of choices but you only mention one:) What is the other way of doing that?
