ScratchOdb object

A scratch output database is associated with an open output database and is used to store session-related, non-persistent objects, such as Step, Frame and FieldOutput objects. Abaqus creates a scratch output database when needed for these non-persistent objects during an Abaqus/CAE session. Abaqus deletes the scratch output database when the associated output database is closed.
