PyFluent: How to get the zone ID when zone name is known?

I know that I can get face and cell zones with
solver.setup.boundary_conditions.get_state()
solver.setup.cell_zone_conditions.get_state()

From this I can get the names.
But some commands require to use the ID (a number) instead, for example
solver.tui.define.models.battery_model.electric_field_model.contact_resistance_regions()

Is there a PyFluent way to figure out the ID of a zone?

Hi @Rolf Reinelt ,

For models that are not yet exposed, you can trigger an auxiliary Scheme interface to get those. In your case, you can get the id of a zone "mywall" as follows

bcname = "mywall"
id = solver.scheme_eval.scheme_eval(f'(thread-name->id "{bcname}")')

Note that this way should be superseded by new, pythonic forms as the API develops.
