Hi,

I am trying to access a body in meshing via scripting however I am a bit confused about the idea of partID and TopoID.

I am currently using a loop like;

var partID = new Array ();
var TopoId = new Array ();

SM.Clear();
SM.SelectAll();


for (var i= 1; i<=SM.SelectedCount; i++) {
    partID[i] = DS.SelectionManager.SelectedPartID(i);
    TopoId[i] = DS.SelectionManager.SelectedEntityTopoID(i);

	}

And expect it to write partID and TopoID's of every body that is in "DS.Tree.FirstActiveBranch.Model.PrototypeGrou p". I can call for partID[1] & TopoID[1] correctly however for any other body I am failing. Which makes me think that my understanding of the concept of part & topo id's are wrong.

The main goal is to sort the contents of PrototypeGroup according to bodies (surface or body). And select either one at specific locations.

I also did try;

var part = DS.Tree.FirstActiveBranch.PrototypeGroup.Prototypes(1).Part;

var partID = part.ID;

var brep = part.BRep;

var face = brep.Cells(1);

which failed me. Apparently Topo_ID is not an ordered integer, I mean first bodies topo id is not "1"...

So I need a bit of guidance here..

Hi,

Let me answer my own question..

var branch = DS.Tree.FirstActiveBranch;
var bodies = branch.Prototypes;

for (var i=1; i<=bodies.Count; i++) {
SM.Clear();
SM.ForceSelect(bodies(i).Part.ID, bodies(i).topoID);
}

One can change "i" anywhere to access individual body..
