How can I export contact force (CFNM) as a text file (to read using Matlab) from ODB history Outputs file using Python in Abaqus?

I want to export contact force as text file from ODB file of an static- general solved simulation using python script. I had requested a History output with Domain as Interactions. I plot the contact force in the Viewer. As per Abaqus/Viewer the name of the Contact force set is "CFNM ASSEMBLY_PICKEDSURF7/ASSEMBLY_PICKEDSURF6". I tried to extract the contact force from the ODB using historyOutputs python commands and export it as a txt file.

Thanks

It's seem that in the link below they had the same problem and found some interesting way to turn on it:
