Unable to create a new step in the odb file in Aabqus Explicit
<p>I am unable to create a new step in the odb file of a dynamic explicit analysis. I am using the following commands to create a new step:</p>

<pre><code>odbWrite=openOdb(path="C:\blahblah.odb" , readOnly = False)

newResultsStep=odbWrite.Step(name='Test-a',description='User Defined Results',domain=TIME, timePeriod=1)
</code></pre>

<p>After the above command, I am getting a message as "Interaction cannot be used with the current procedure". </p>

<p>I have a surface to surface contact as one interaction and a coupling using a RP to a face of a part. These are the only two interactions I have in the model
I have successfully used the same set of commands to create a new step for a static analysis in Abaqus Standard but it does not seem to work in explicit. Kindly help me figuring out a way to create a new step in the odb file for this analysis.</p>
