Extracting Time in Abaqus Python Code

Hi all,

I have been at this for 2 days straight and I can't seem to figure it out:

In Abaqus, one can write python scripts to reproduce models quickly for parametric study. I'm also using a script to similarly access the output database (.odb) after the first script is complete. No problem there.

My issue is in trying to extract the time stamp for each frame in the analysis. I can extract nodal positions, and other field outputs as a function of the frame number but I want to know them as a function of the frame's time stamp instead (since I'm working with a dynamic analysis).

For those of you who have a working knowledge of ABAQUS's python development environment, perhaps you could help?

Thanks!
