read out the Contact Forces (CFn) from Output History with Python

read out the Contact Forces (CFn) from Output History with Python

(OP)
Hello,

I have a problem with reading out datas from the odb-file.
With this, the datas are in the odb-file (calculation with Abaqus Version 6.7-1):

*CONTACT OUTPUT, SLAVE=S_Name, MASTER=M_Name
CFN

This all works fine. But I'm searching for the code for the history region.
For elements and nodes it's working like this:
'Element PART-1-1.1000 Int Point 1'
'Node PART-1-1.1000'

But what it's necessary for a contact pair?
I tested some codes by trial and error. Some of my not-working-examples:
'Contact pair PART-1-1.S_Name/M_Name'
'Surface PART-1-1.M_Name'
'Contact PART-1-1 M_Name'
'Contact Pair PART-1-1 MASTER=M_Name SLAVE=S_Name'

It is possible for contact pairs?
If it's not working like this, there is another possibility to read out the datas from an history output with python?

Somebody can help me?
It would be nice, thanks!
