Open the Selection Information panel in Mechanical

Landon Mitchell Kanner

I'm looking for a script to activate the "Selection Information" panel in Workbench. My goal is to export selection information to a text file, as described here. However, the export script currently shows an error after the programmatic selection. If I manually click on the selected item to activate "Selection Information", the export works correctly. Could you advise on the specific script command needed to programmatically activate the "Selection Information" panel?

ExtAPI.Application.ScriptByName("jscript").ExecuteCommand("DS.Script.showSelectionInfoPane(true)")

You can find the function showSelectionInfoPane here:
C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\v242\aisol\DesignSpace\DSPages\scripts\DSMainScript.js
