CFD Online Discussion Forums - Script to assign PIDs to Parts in Model Browser

Hi,

I need to write a py script to create a new part in the Model Browser and assign certain PIDs to it. My code is the following:

Code:

import os

import ansa

from ansa import constants

from ansa import base



deck=constants.OPENFOAM



def main():

        

        #collect all entities

        ent = base.CollectEntities(deck,None,'SHELL_PROPERTY')

        

        filter=[]

        

        for i in ent:

                

                #find PIDs whose name matches a string named "string"



                if "string" in str(i._name):

                        print(i._name)                        

                        filter.append(i)                



        #create a new part named "New_Part"                                                

        part = base.NewPart('New Part')

        

        base.SetEntityPart(filter,part)

        

        

if __name__ == '__main__':

        main()

The code prints correctly the name of the filtered PIDs and creates the part "New_Part" in the Model Browser but does not assign any entity, so "New_Part" remains an empty part. How can I fix it?

Thank you in advance!
