How to use selection logic in dpf in Mechanical? Example, select Solid186 elements with keyopt(2)=1?

The below code will help to get the scoping based on intersection between all elements with name SOLID186 and all the elements with Keyoption(2) = 1, getting all Solid186 elements with Keyopt(2) = 1.

import mech_dpf
import Ans.DataProcessing as dpf
my_data_sources = dpf.DataSources(Model.Analyses[0].ResultFileName)

scope_op1 = dpf.operators.scoping.on_property(requested_location = "Elemental", property_name = "mapdl_element_type",property_id= 186,data_sources = my_data_sources)
outputIds1 = scope_op1.outputs.mesh_scoping.GetData()
print(outputIds1)

scope_op2 = dpf.operators.scoping.on_property(requested_location = "Elemental", property_name = "keyopt_2",property_id= 1,data_sources = my_data_sources)
outputIds2 = scope_op2.outputs.mesh_scoping.GetData()
print(outputIds2)

op_intersection = dpf.operators.scoping.intersect() # operator instantiation
op_intersection.inputs.scopingA.Connect(scope_op1)
op_intersection.inputs.scopingB.Connect(scope_op2)
scoping_intersection = op_intersection.outputs.intersection.GetData()
print(scoping_intersection)
