Using a distorted geometry as the initial geometry for a subsequent model ??

Maybe I have missed something obvious, but is there a way to save the distorted shape of a structural model (in this case it is a truss) and use it in a subsequent model as if the truss had been built in the distorted shape?
I used a first model to calculate the ~catenary shape of a suspension bridge-like structure and now I'd like to use the distorted positions of all the nodes along the cable as the input geometry for a second model.
Thanks in advance for any help.
