I want to create a convection object, set its setting to "tabular data" and provide different values for different load steps.

    The following code can be adapted:

    thermal_analysis = ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model.Analyses[0]
convection = thermal_analysis.AddConvection()
convection.Location = ExtAPI.DataModel.GetObjectsByName('my_NS')[0]
convection.FilmCoefficient.Inputs[0].DiscreteValues = [Quantity('0[s]'),Quantity('1[s]'),Quantity('2[s]'),Quantity('3[s]')]
convection.FilmCoefficient.Output.DiscreteValues = [Quantity('0[W m^-1 m^-1 C^-1]'),Quantity('100[W m^-1 m^-1 C^-1]'),Quantity('200[W m^-1 m^-1 C^-1]'),Quantity('300[W m^-1 m^-1 C^-1]')]
