ACT Console - Create Named Selection, Mechanical (Criterion: Body Name containing specific string) 1

[smhrjn]

Dear All,

could anyone suggest me, how to create Named Selection in Ansys Mechanical using ACT Console. Named Selection should use worksheet (Entity Type: Body, Criterion: Name, Operator: Contains, Value: 'String).
It would speed up NS generation, as I import geometry from Spaceclaim named accordingly.

Thanking you,
Sarat

model = ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model
analysis = model.Analyses[0]
solution = analysis.Solution
workingdir = analysis.WorkingDir 

named = model.AddNamedSelection()
named.Name = "Named Selection"
named.Location = ExtAPI.SelectionManager.CreateSelectionInfo(SelectionTypeEnum.WorksheetSpecific)
worksheet = named.Location
worksheet.AddRow()
worksheet.SetEntityType(0,NamedSelectionWorksheetEntityType.Body)
worksheet.SetCriterion(0,NamedSelectionWorksheetCriterion.Name)
worksheet.SetOperator(0,NamedSelectionWorksheetOperator.Contains)
worksheet.SetStringValue(0, "String")

Maybe this will get you started. The criterion line does not work yet and I don't know why. It accepts other criteria. This link
might also be useful.

Thank you L_K for your reply.

main Problem I had was exactly NamedSelectionWorksheetCriterion.Name. I could not find anything on Internet or any official documentation.

Please see the last example on this page for solution. Name criterion is defined
by using "NameProperty".

Thank you very much L_K. It works great.

I don't have access to customer portal currently but "NameProperty" was enough to solve my problem.
