    Hello, you can use the GeoData

    Faces Example

    Volume Example

    Code:

    geoData=ExtAPI.DataModel.GeoData

#-----Calculate Face Areas-----#

myfacesNS = ExtAPI.DataModel.GetObjectsByName("MYFACES")[0]
TotalArea = 0
for faceId in myfacesNS.Location:
    face = geoData.GeoEntityById(faceId)
    TotalArea += face.Area

print("Total Area = " + str(TotalArea))

#-----Calculate Bodies Volumes-----#

myBodiesNS = ExtAPI.DataModel.GetObjectsByName("MYVOLUMES")[0]
TotalVolume = 0
for bodyId in myBodiesNS.Location:
    body = geoData.GeoEntityById(bodyId)
    TotalVolume += body.Volume

print("Total Volume = " + str(TotalVolume))

    Solution
    Total Area = 0.00119999996969
    Total Volume = 1.6e-05
