Hello everyone

I'm working on measuring frictional force and shear stress along with the interface of bolted double lap joints.

I have a bolted double lap joint made of steel which is fixed from one end and concentrated force is applied from another end. Everything including the definition of parts, step, assembly, contact interaction, and loading has been done in ABAQUS CAE.

As a part of my work, I am going to start the analysis with a specified coefficient of friction 0.25 and after the job has been done, save the results. Then increase the confection of friction with an increment of 0.1 in each analysis until the coefficient of friction reaches 0.6.

My question is how to perform all this analysis in a loop by python.

Thank you in advance
