Switched companies and now use 3DExperience and am wanting to get Point2D coordinates in the 3D space. I can get the objects coordinates in a 2D space referenced from the sketch axis, but not from the basic axis. I used to get at this issue with the SPAWorkbench...
As far as linking up to Femap with Python, see a previous post I had that may help you get the femap library converted over to the python module. http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=379339

Oddly enough had this same issue a 2 weeks ago.
For minor things where you don't need to get output (as variants) from the functions, you can connect to an open session like this:
from win32com.client import Dispatch
femap = Dispatch("femap.model")
femap.feAppMessage(0, "Python has attached...
