stress increase

Hello All:



I am running a simple thermal tension coupon test with two steps.



Step 1: Apply a 10 lbs load on the coupon at certain temp.

Step 2: Keep the strain constant and reduce temp ( the material would
try to contract but I must keep the strain constant by increasing load)



Is there a way for me to do step 2 in abaqus and have it predict the load or stress required to maintain constant strain?



I would appreciate your comments? Thanks
