    Currently there is no direct function. This can however be done by retrieving the Elements associated with the MaterialId of the surface coating:

    scs = ExtAPI.DataModel.GetObjectsByType(Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.SurfaceCoating)
sc_1 = scs[0]
solution = Model.Analyses[0].Solution
solver_data = solution.SolverData
coating_data = solver_data.GetObjectData(sc_1)
matid_sc_1 = coating_data.MaterialId.ToString()

# Get list of surface coating Elements
solver_data.ElementIdsByMaterialId(matid_sc_1)
