How can I retrieve a Design Point number in a Mechanical simulation?

One of our customers wants to export a file for each DP with the filename indicating the DP number . How can I retrieve this information?

Here's how I did it - the customer wanted to export Equivalent Radiated Power Level

erpl_result=ExtAPI.DataModel.GetObjectsByName('Equivalent Radiated Power Level')[0]
analysis=erpl_result.Parent.Parent # Analysis could be retrieved differently
dp_id=analysis.WorkingDir.split('\')[-4] # dp number appears in WorkingDir. Simply splitting by /
user_files_dir=os.path.join(analysis.WorkingDir,'../../../user_files')

file_name=os.path.join(user_files_dir,'erpl_'+dp_id+'.txt') # Filename with dp number
erpl_result.ExportToTextFile(file_name)
