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:

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!
