Thermal Precondition Import

  I am trying to export my temperature results from a transient thermal analysis and import it into a new project file as an imported thermal load. I selected the Use Node Location option, and wrote an input file of my results. In my new project I select this input file as an "External Data" object and make it the "setup" of a new analysis. When I try to start mechanical for this new analysis it gives me the error: "The upstream system doesn't provide thickness information." This is a 3D analysis so I am confused as to why it is looking for thickness information. Can someone point me in the right direction as to how to do this? Thank you!
