The following method can create a point, but I want to specify the surface for point creation using the surface ID instead of the SelectionManager.

　 ds = ExtAPI.DataModel.InternalObject['ds']
sm = ds.SelectionManager
branch = ds.Tree.FirstActiveBranch
vcell_group = branch.VirtualCellGroup
vcell_group.CreateVirtualHardVertex(sm)

    faceID = 27
point = Point([500,500,5000],'mm')

selection=ExtAPI.SelectionManager.CreateSelectionInfo(SelectionTypeEnum.GeometryEntities)
selection.Ids = [faceID]

try: virtual_topology = ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model.AddVirtualTopology()
except: virtual_topology = ExtAPI.DataModel.GetObjectsByType(Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.VirtualTopology)[0]

virtual_topology.AddVirtualHardVertex(selection,point)
