Check face types in Mechanical

Pernelle Marone-Hitz

In Mechanical, how can I check the face type (ie, plane, cylinder, etc) for each body in the Mechanical tree?

This code can be used and adapted:

bodies = ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model.Geometry.GetChildren(DataModelObjectCategory.Body, True)
for body in bodies:
    geo_body = body.GetGeoBody()
    for face in geo_body.Faces:
        if face.SurfaceType == GeoSurfaceTypeEnum.GeoSurfaceCylinder:
            print('Face is a cylinder')
        elif face.SurfaceType == GeoSurfaceTypeEnum.GeoSurfacePlane:
            print('Face is a plane')
        else:
            print("Face type was neither recognized as a cylinder nor a plane")

For a geometry with only one cylindrical body, this is obtained:
