    Let's say if the vertex Id is 83 (which can be found from scoping of a load or a bc .. loadObj.Location), then one can get the corresponding node ID/s (if the scoping is face/edge for example) using the below script.

    Mesh = ExtAPI.DataModel.MeshDataByName("Global")
    mR = Mesh.MeshRegionById(83)
    nodeIds = mR.NodeIds
