How to couple temperature with SPH(Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics) elements in Abaqus?

I just started using Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics. It seems that Abaqus doesn’t support the SPH element coupled with a temperature degree. I am trying to find a way to do that. I want to do thermomechanical analysis using SPH. Abaqus supports only these elements: PC3D, C3D8R, C3D6, or C3D4. There are no PC3DT, C3D8RT, C3D6T, or C3D4T in SPH. I have seen many research papers having thermomechanical analysis in SPH. Can anyone help me with it?
 
SPH elements can be used to simulate e.g. Friction Stir Welding process in explicit analysis with the inclusion of adiabatic heating effects and heat generation in contact interaction. Then it's possible to display temperatures with the TEMP output variable. What's more, temperatures applied to nodes of finite elements converted to particles are propagated to the generated particles.
