Using ACT, how can I loop through all the bodies in the Mechanical tree, and change the model type for all beam bodies to "thermal fluid" ?

    Here is a script that will loop through all bodies and parts in the tree and change the model type for all beam bodies :

        geodata=ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model.Analyses[0].GeoData
    geo = ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model.Geometry
    for i in range(len(geodata.Assemblies[0].Parts)):
        for j in range(len(geodata.Assemblies[0].Parts[i].Bodies)):
            bodygeo=geo.Children[i].Children[j]
            bodygeodata=geodata.Assemblies[0].Parts[i].Bodies[j]         
            if str(bodygeodata.BodyType)=='GeoBodyWire':
                bodygeo.ModelType=PrototypeModelType.ModelPhysicsTypeFluid
