Define convection through Mechanical scripting

Pernelle Marone-Hitz

Using ACT, I want to scan the geometry, select all the faces of a body named "Body1", and apply a convection condition on these faces

The following code can be used to that effect :

    therm_analysis=ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model.Analyses[0]
    conv=therm_analysis.AddConvection()
    geo = ExtAPI.DataModel.GeoData
    for asm in geo.Assemblies:
        for part in asm.Parts:
            for body in part.Bodies:     
                if body.Name == 'Body1':
                    temp_sel=ExtAPI.SelectionManager.CreateSelectionInfo(SelectionTypeEnum.GeometryEntities)
                    temp_list=[]
                    for i in range(len(body.Faces)):
                        temp_list.append(body.Faces[i].Id)
                    temp_sel.Ids=temp_list
                    conv.Location=temp_sel
