Problem when using stored solution as boundary conditions

I've just started using Comsol and I'm facing some problems regarding using stored solutions as a boundary conditions for the next step.
What I would like to do is to simulate a pressing step of a multilayered composite with different elastic moduli. So far, I have managed to do the first step but I got an error message when trying to define the initial conditions of the following step as the stored solution. I want to see how the multilayered material will relax upon releasing of the load. As the substrate is much softer than the top layers, I expect to see a sort of bending when the force that is applied in the first step is removed.
I'm attaching my model and any help will be greatly appreciated. Sorry for my limited knowledge in finite element analysis. I'm currently using Comsol v.4.2.
Thank you very much in advance for your help.
