I am not sure if there is a way of interpreting the "Find Contact Pairs" command button in the GUI of ABAQUS into a command line in python, I need the machine to find all possible surfaces in contact with each other and name them according to the materials of the parts the surfaces in contact belong to, is there any way to do this? Thank you in advance.

I think there is no really good way to do what you want.
You can iterate over all faces of each instance and get many information about each face. Those information could be used to check what faces are close to each other. Or you check what you can do with findAt() or getClosest().
