2D results as initial conditions to a 3D model

Hi,

I'm doing a simulation of moisture and heat distribution on a soil profile.
On the first step I've made a 2D simulation of my soil that is a rectangle.
Now I have a heat exchanger buried in my soil and therefore, I have a "z" axis to add to my model. Assuming that the changes in the soil occurs just on depth direction, I want to take the results of my 2D simulation and put as initial conditions to my extruded 3D soil domain.
I've searched here but didn't found how to do this. Any tip for me?

Another problem, the mesh won't be the same. How to solve this?

Thanks in advance.

Well I solved my problem, and it was really simple. I exported my results in a file, imported in the 3D model as "interpolation equation" and made it as initial condition.
