    The following script can be adapted. A named selection will be created for each face on which a point mass is scoped.

        geometry = ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model.Geometry
    mass=geometry.Children[2] #in this example, the mass is the 3rd object under Geometry, hence "Children[2]"
    surfIds=mass.Location
    for i in range(len(surfIds.Ids)):
        NS_SurfId=ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model.AddNamedSelection()
        NS_SurfId.Name='NS'+str(i)
        temp_sel=ExtAPI.SelectionManager.CreateSelectionInfo(SelectionTypeEnum.GeometryEntities)
        mylist=[surfIds.Ids[i]]
        temp_sel.Ids=mylist
        NS_SurfId.Location=temp_sel
