sequentially coupled heat transfer stress analysis, with transient heat transfer

sequentially coupled heat transfer stress analysis, with transient heat transfer

(OP)
Dear all,

I am relatively new in Abaqus. I need to solve a sequentially coupled heat transfer stress analysis, with transient heat transfer, using Abaqus.
That means that after each time step I need to use the solution of the heat transfer problem and use the temperature distribution as an input for the mechanical problem.
I managed to do it manually, but I am looking for some tips on how to write a pyhton script that allows to do it automatically.

The steps would be:
1) Run heat transfer problem, one time step.
2) Load the solution as input for mechanical analysis
3) Solve mechanical problem.
4) Save data and restart from step 1.

Note that the loading is purely thermal. Maybe it is a trivial question, but could somebody give me some hints on how to formulate the phyton script?

Thanks a lot in advance.
