Abaqus - Import error when importing Scipy into abaqus input script

Hello friends,

I am trying to import the scipy optimisation package into a python script that should serve as an input script into Abaqus for optimisation purposes. Although scipy is installed on my machine through both Anaconda and the command prompt, i still get the following error from Abaqus:

ImportError: No module named scipy

Any ideas how to resolve this issue?
