writing into ABAQUS odb file
<p>I have generated a python script that writes data into the odb file by creating a new step. the code works well for the first time but when I try to run it again Abaqus shows a kind of error message that the step name already exists. Does anyone know how to solve this or I will change the step name everytime in the python code?</p>

<p>thanks</p>
