Extract Force Reaction and corresponding coordinates

Hi Together,
I wrote a script to automatically extract contact forces. The script creates a force reaction result and takes a contact. Then the contact Force Reaction is written to a csv file. As I have to modify my model from time to time it would be helpful if I extract beside the forces also the center of the contact (coordinates x,y,z) to later be able to rearrange the results to old results. In the graphics for a force Reaction I can for example see an arrow. Can I somehow extract the origin of this vector (which is in the middle of the contact face)

Hello, you could try to get the face(s) id(s), and with the geoData get its centroid.
Could something like this work for your needs?
face=ExtAPI.SelectionManager.CurrentSelection geoData= ExtAPI.DataModel.GeoData geoFace=geoData.GeoEntityById(face.Ids[0]) geoFace.Centroid
Best Regards,
