Dear Nilcolaf,
Why don't you try to analyze your model at two steps?
The steps should be as follows:
Initial>Step 1 (thermal analysis)>Step 2 (mechanical analysis)
Hope it helps.

Dear CompUser,
Using a python script, you can either retrieve the corresponding data (say S11) through node sets or particular nodes, which can be chosen by a rule or formula.
for a node set, your code could be somewhat like this:
session.xyDataListFromField(
odb=odb, outputPosition=NODAL
...
Have a look at the following links.

How are the points gonna join together and make the shell elements? It would be very helpful if you put a small part of the file and describe the relation between the points.

You could assign rotation as a boundary condition. Have a look at Model>Steps>Your Load Step>BCs>Displacement/Rotation
Hope it helps.

Staryash,
Abaqus 6.7 and later has a Python editor and debugger as well. you can find it in "File>ABAQUS PDE" menu.
Notepad++ is a free editor.
I myself use PyScripter. It is free and very powerful for professional scripting.
Staryash,
You can run a macro using execfile('marcofile.py') as well as "File>Run script" menu. I though you wanna make the script more changeable (dynamic). In the case, you could use x=getInput('x=','default value for x').
Regards,
