Thermal_Mechanical Stress in PyMechanical

I have a pymechanical script that performs Steady-State Thermal.
Now I would like to import the output of the steady-state thermal in static structural analysis.

Can someone help me with this?

One way and probably one of the easiest would be to create a new static system (analysis = Model.AddStaticStructuralAnalysis()) - so after thermal is done create new static system.

then in the static system, import thermal result/.rth files (AddImportedLoadMAPDLResultsFile())
add imported temperature on body (AddImportedBodyTemperature()),
and finally solve.

All the best
