    The following function can be used:

    def ExtractMaterialYoungModulus():
    '''
    Extract Young Modulus value for each body in model
    '''
    listExportMaterialYoungModulusProperties = []
    import materials
    for part in ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model.Geometry.Children:
        for body in part.Children:
            if body.Suppressed is False:
                geoBody = body.GetGeoBody()
                bodyName = body.Name
                bodyMaterial = body.Material
                geoBodyMaterial = geoBody.Material
                try:
                    bodyElasticityValues = materials.GetMaterialPropertyByName(
                        geoBodyMaterial, "Elasticity")
                    bodyYoungModulus = bodyElasticityValues[
                        "Young's Modulus"]
                    bodyYoungModulusUnit = bodyYoungModulus[0]
                    bodyYoungModulusValue = bodyYoungModulus[1]
                except:
                    bodyYoungModulusUnit = "No aplica"
                    bodyYoungModulusValue = "No aplica"
                listExportMaterialYoungModulusProperties.append([
                    str(bodyName),
                    str(bodyMaterial),
                    str(bodyYoungModulusUnit),
                    str(bodyYoungModulusValue)
                ])
    return listExportMaterialYoungModulusProperties
