getByBoundingBox command

[HayaNaji]

Hello guys
I working on a script to partition a face and I'm using the getByBoundingBox command to select that face
I wrote this script and tried to run it however the feature creation failed

This is my script

mdb.models['Model-1'].parts['sec1'].PartitionFaceByDatumPlane(datumPlane=
mdb.models['Model-1'].parts['sec1'].datums[7], faces=
mdb.models['Model-1'].parts['sec1'].faces.getByBoundingBox(0.53,-0.03,0.0,2.03,-0.03,2.0))

I want to know if there is something wrong with the script abnd how can I fix it, I appreciate if someone can help

Regards

Can you nest functions like that? Have you tried pulling out the faces= to before you do the partition, then pass it the faces variable rather than doing it directly?

I don't know, I'm new to scripting, and I'm trying to learn to model the ship parts using python scripts
You mean that I can define the faces before I do the partitioning?, can you write a script example please?

I also tried this script

p = mdb.models['Model-1'].parts['sec1']
Face = mdb.models['Model-1'].parts['sec1'].faces.getByBoundingBox(0.53,-0.03,0.0,2.03,-0.03,2.0)
p.PartitionFaceByDatumPlane(datumPlane=mdb.models['Model-1'].parts['sec1'].datums[7], faces=Face)

but I got the same result, Feature Creation failed!

Is there anything in the Face variable?

Could it be because the face has a little curvature, it's not plane?
