Using pre-processed data for current analysis

  I am doing a structural analysis of a dam. The initial stresses on the foundation due to self-weight (gravity) needed to be modeled.
  Then the dam needed to be placed on the existing foundation. The stress results obtained from the first analysis needed to be used in this analysis, but the deformation should be only calculated for the second analysis.
  If someone having an idea of how to do this, please be kind enough to guide me.

  Please google "How to Map Stresses using ANSYS Workbench Mechanical" and you would find some useful videos showing the process.
