How to import (Abaqus) results file .odb into Hypermesh in order to prepare a second step on the deformed geometry?

Hello!

I want to make a new implicit step after one explicit has finished.

I tried running first the explicit and then, importing the .odb to a new .inp:

*MODEL CHANGE, REMOVE
**Here I remove some of the sets I don't want in the new step
*IMPORT, UPDATE=NO, FILE="test1.odb", STEP=explicit_Step
*STEP, NAME=implicit_Step
*STATIC
*CLOAD
N111900, 3, -1000
*BOUNDARY
Boundary1, 1, 6
*OUTPUT, FIELD
*NODE OUTPUT
U
RF
*ELEMENT OUTPUT
S
E
PE
*END STEP

But this is not working:

Abaqus Error: No import file was specified.
The Abaqus analysis cannot be executed.
Abaqus/Analysis exited with error(s).

The .odb is in the same directory that the .inp. In spite of this circumstance, I've tried also putting the whole route here FILE="test1.odb", but it works neither.

Does anyone know how could I make this?

 

Thank you.
