How to define a user defined result (udr) using cross section properties with mechanical scripting

Say we have a beam model, that uses a cross section, and we want to get the section data (A, Ixx,..), in order to use it say in a udr?

Below is one way of doing it:

model=ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model
analysis = model.Analyses[0]
csg=ExtAPI.DataModel.GetObjectsByType(Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.CrossSections)[0]
cs1=csg.Children[0]
ar=(cs1.PropertyByName("CrossSectionArea").StringValue).split(" ")[0]
udr=analysis.Solution.AddUserDefinedResult()
udr.Expression="(BEAM_AXIAL_FX)/"+str(ar)
