Hello Akshar Maniyar,

sorry for my bad despriction of my problem. I didn't mention that I'm doing this in a script. And trying to get the Items in the Named Selection via script. It looks like follows:

model = ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model

mesh = model.Mesh

materials = model.Materials

analysis = model.Analyses[0]

solution = analysis.Solution

 

nsel = DataModel.GetObjectsByType(DataModelObjectCategory.NamedSelection)

nsel_str = [obj_nsel.Name for obj_nsel in nsel]

 

base_NSel = ['Example1', 'Example2', 'Example3']

 

for i in nsel:

    for j in base_NSel:

        if i.Name == j:

            coordinate_system = Model.CoordinateSystems.AddCoordinateSystem()

            coordinate_system.OriginDefineBy = CoordinateSystemAlignmentType.Component

            coordinate_system.OriginLocation = i

            coordinate_system.CoordinateSystemType = CoordinateSystemTypeEnum.Cylindrical
            # Here I need some code to assign the Items of the Named Selection (since you can just assign coordinate systems to bodies not Named Selections)
            #  to the just created cylindrical coordinate system
            # The thing is I don't know how to get the ID of  the body that is in a Named Selection 

 

        else:

            pass

I hope this made it a bit clearer.

Best regards,
Toni
