Pull Requests are Welcome

Since abqpy is reconstructed from the official Abaqus documentation, many of the docstrings are not well formatted, for example, the Raises section, the math equations, the attributes of the objects, due to the limitation of my time, those things are left behind, if anyone is willing to make any contributions, please feel free to create your pull requests.

Please refer CONTRIBUTING for contribution guidelines.
