Abaqus Python - Extract number of steps/frames

[creakesiv]

I am writing a code in which I need to set a variable to the number of steps and another to the number of frames.
I will then use that to iterate through the steps in viewer and take screenshots. I've looked through the manual and can't find anything that will help me get this, plus I don't really understand the code structure for abaqus yet.
Best,

Try that and modify as needed.

from abaqus import *
from abaqusConstants import *
from caeModules import *

vps = session.viewports[session.currentViewportName]

odbName = vps.displayedObject.name
odb = session.odbs[odbName]
currentstepnumber = vps.odbDisplay.fieldFrame[0]
currentstepname = odb.steps.keys()[currentstepnumber]
currentframe = vps.odbDisplay.fieldFrame[1]
currentsteptime = odb.steps[currentstepname].frames[currentframe].frameValue

print odbName
print currentstepnumber
print currentstepname
print currentframe
print currentsteptime
