Script create Named Selection and Suppress
 

Hi all,

I am new at the forum and in the ansys scripting.
I'm scripting an epicycloid gear in 2D. I can already draw everything, what I wanted, but I don't know how to suppress the Line body and how to create named selections from the spline, the circles and the faces.
Can anybody help me in these problems?

Here is the script:

ag.gui.NewFile();
ag.m.ClearAllErrors();
ag.m.NewSession (true);
ag.gui.setUnits(ag.c.UnitMillimeter, ag.c.UnitDegree, ag.c.No);
ag.m.ModelPrefs.ModelToleranceType = ag.c.ModelTightTol;

function planeSketchesOnly (p)
{
//Plane
p.Plane = agb.GetXYPlane();
p.Origin = p.Plane.GetOrigin();
p.XAxis = p.Plane.GetXAxis();
p.YAxis = p.Plane.GetYAxis();

//Units
ag.c.UnitMillimeter = ag.m.constant("UNIT_MILLIMETER");

//Sketch
p.Sk1 = p.Plane.NewSketch();
p.Sk1.Name = "Gear";

//Edges
with (p.Sk1)
{
p.Sp9 = SplineBegin();
with(p.Sp9)
{
SplineXYW(-1.68907000, 43.91513000, 1.00000000);
SplineXYW(-1.08655201, 43.65346971, 1.00000000);
[...]
SplineKnot(1.00000000);
SplineCtrlPtEnd(0.00000000, 1.00000000, 4, 1, 0, 0);
}
p.Cr10 = Circle(0.00000000, 0.00000000, 12.50000000);
}
//Units
ag.c.UnitMillimeter = ag.m.constant("UNIT_MILLIMETER");

//Sketch
p.Sk2 = p.Plane.NewSketch();
p.Sk2.Name = "Excenter";

//Edges
with (p.Sk2)
{
p.Cr11 = Circle(0.00000000, 0.00000000, 12.50000000);
p.Cr12 = Circle(0.00000000, -0.60000000, 5.00000000);
}

//Units
ag.c.UnitMillimeter = ag.m.constant("UNIT_MILLIMETER");

//Sketch
p.Sk3 = p.Plane.NewSketch();
p.Sk3.Name = "Pin";

//Edges
with (p.Sk3)
{
p.Cr13 = Circle(0.00000000, 44.40000000, 1.50000000);
p.Cr14 = Circle(0.00000000, 44.40000000, 1.00000000);
}

// Select sketch before CreateSurfSk feature
