Executing abaqus job using python script

[Eastonc2]

I'm not 100% sure where this belongs, but, I have a script that will allow me to modify the mesh size of an individual part in abaqus, and then execute a job on that part. my question is How do I go about changing the mesh size for multiple parts?

*edit* removed first part of question, wasn't thinking straight.

script I already have is below."""
script.py

this script changes mesh size of existing model and then runs job

"""
from abaqus import *
from abaqusConstants import *
#import part
#import mesh
#from mesh import S4, S8R, STANDARD, STRUCTURED
#import job# Open the model database.
# This opens ALL features in the model tree
# assigns the CAE model data base to the variable 'mdb'
mdb=openMdb('Model.cae')

#case sensitive !
model = mdb.models['Model-1']
part = model.parts['Part-1]

#first we delete the old mesh before we create a new one
part.deleteMesh()

#all mesh controls are already set in this MDB, so no need to adjust
#only needed: size:
part.seedPart(size=1, deviationFactor=0.1)

#create
part.generateMesh()

jobName = 'modifiedMesh'

myJob = mdb.Job(name=jobName, model=model,
description='Deflection_analysis')
myJob.submit()
myJob.waitForCompletion()

For future ref if nothing else ... If you've multiple parts, you can for example make a list of them (if don't want to refer explicitly by name), followed by a for-loop which contains the part, seed and meshing specification. Something along the lines of:

for part in model.parts:
[INDENT]part.deleteMesh()[/INDENT]
[INDENT]part.seedPart(size=1, deviationFactor=0.1)[/INDENT]
[INDENT]part.generateMesh()[/INDENT]

and you'll need to specify what size you wish for a specific part (another list for example).
