Hi, I want to use command to operate the body in AIM(such as assign material for "BODY 2"). and what I have is the selection set  of surface(such as "selectionSet2").

So how can I get the body name by this surface selection set or some surface?

Thanks!

Hello Frank

I will have to check it.

Hello Frank

Please refer below code:

 

model = Study.GetModel(Name="Model 1", Container="Study")

allss=Study.GetAllSelectionSets()  # access all selection sets

loc = allss[0].Location   # access face of1st selection set ("Selection Set 1")

print loc

parentBody = Study.GetEntityBodies(TopologyString=loc[0], Model = model)  # access parent body of face

print parentBody

Naresh Patre thank you very much!

it is workable.

How can I find this function by myself(like function: GetEntityBodies)? Is there some API reference for AIM?

Thanks!

Hello Frank

Several functions of "Study" object are described in Help document under Customization Suite 2019 R2 - ANSYS AIM and Workbench Scripting Guide - Data Containers - Study. However, functions like GetEntityBodies are not mentioned. But you get get a list of all functions under Study object by executing dir(Study) command.
