    Let a Surface Force Density object under a Harmonic Response analysis in Mechanical. Here is its Details window:

    In order to access this object via Mechanical scripting, the following command could be issued:

    sfd = ExtAPI.DataModel.GetObjectsByType(DataModelObjectCategory.ImportedSurfaceForceDensity)[0]

    Its properties, shown in the screenshot above, can be accessed using this command:

    sfd.VisibleProperties

    In order to modify the Source Frequency property from Worksheet to All, this command could be used:

    sfd.PropertyByName("PROPID_AnsoftTimeDefinition").InternalValue = 0 # 0: All, 1: Range, 2: Worksheet
