How can I check if a named selection in Ansys Mechanical is a nodal named Selection?

M

Trying to automate some results extraction and I haven't quite figured out how to tell if the location/scope of the result, when it is a name selection, is nodes or a geometry/body.

Hi, maybe you can try something like this? This script assumes that all the Named Selections have unique names.

# Get the result of interest
sol = Model.Analyses[0].Children[3]
tot_def = sol.Children[1]

# Get the 'name' of the Named Selection to which the result is scoped
tot_def_DetView = tot_def.GetDetailsView()
tot_def_Scope = tot_def_DetView.data[2].value

# Get the total number of Named Selections in the model
NS = Model.NamedSelections
tot_NS = len(Model.NamedSelections.Children)

# Loop over all the Named Selections
for i in range(tot_NS):
    NS1 = NS.Children[i]
    if NS1.Name == tot_def_Scope:       # if the 'name' of the i-th Named Selection matches the 'name' of t the Named Selection to which result is scoped
        DetView = NS1.GetDetailsView()
        NS1_Type = DetView.data[2].value

# Check if the Named Selection is scoped to 'Nodes' or 'Node'
        if NS1_Type[-5:] == 'Nodes' or NS1_Type[-4:] == 'Node':
            print "It is a Nodal Named Selection"
        else:
            print "It is NOT a Nodal Named Selection"
