    The contact sizing can be created in the following way :

        mesh=ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model.Mesh
    my_sizing=mesh.AddContactSizing()
    my_sizing.ElementSize=Quantity('0.002 [mm]')
    my_sizing. Name = "Contact Sizing Mesh"

    Then, there are several methods to select which contact should be scoped in the sizing:

    • If you would like to select the contact by its order in the tree:

        my_sizing.ContactRegion=ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model.Connections.Children[0].Children[0]

    • If you would like to select the contact by its name:

        my_sizing.ContactRegion=ExtAPI.DataModel.GetObjectsByName("Contact2")[0]
