  Hi all
  
  Anyone knows how to change scoping method from geometry selection to named selection and then use a predefined geometry for result presentation?
  
  #Add total deformation
  
  dt = ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model.Analyses[0].Solution.AddTotalDeformation()
  
  dt.DisplayTime=Quantity("1.0 [sec]")
  
  dt.Name = "Global Deformation"
  
  dt.????? - to select only a part of the structure.
  
  Thanks in advance!

  I've been struggling with a similar problem, but seem to have got somewhere. The values of dt.InternalObject.GeometryDefineBy should be different depending on whether you have geometry selection or (as in my case) a construction geometry surface selected - I assume something similar is true for a named selection. You can set this value by dt.InternalObject.GeometryDefineBy = the value corresponding to the scoping method you want. That's all I've got for now, hope it helps

  An addition, in case anyone has a similar problem: I was missing the need to define dt.InternalObject.PathSelection = (ObjectId for the surface I had created)
