The following code can be used:

    def GetModelAnalysisType(ExtAPI):
        """    
        Keyword arguments:
        ExtAPI -- ExtAPI entry point    
        """
       
        res = ""
        args = [res]
        ExtAPI.Application.InvokeUIThread(internalGetModelAnalysisType,args)    # call internalGetModelAnalysisType in a different thread
        return args[0]                                                          # return the model analysis type

    def internalGetModelAnalysisType(args):
        args[0] = ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model.Geometry.AnalysisType          # Get the model analysis type info available in the advanced geometry options of the geometry object
