new step on abaqus using python script

Question

I'm trying to create a new step using Python. I have already created a 'Step1' step which results a deformed structure, and now I'm trying to add new results of a new step 'Step2', which should be inserted after 'step1'. Using this script:

odb = openOdb(path='my_odb_path')
newStep=  odb.Step(name='Step2', previous='Step1',domain=TIME)
newFrame = newStep.Frame(incrementNumber=0, frameValue=0.0)
newField = newFrame.FieldOutput(name='...',description='..', type=SCALAR)
newField.addData(position=...,instance=...,labels=...,data=...)
odb.save()

The problem is in the statement "previous", the error message is : (keyword error on previous) Does anyone knows how to solve this problem thank you

I suppose the error message clearly states the issue, keyword error on previous because the correct keyword is previousStepName not previous. Refer to 34.25 in scripting reference guide for more info.
