Change Inflation Mesh via PyMechanical

  Hey everyone,
  I am trying to control the inflation layer on a mesh via a python script and got two problems.
  My current code looks like this:
  Rotor_Inflation = mesh.AddInflation()
  Rotor_Inflation.ScopingMethod = GeometryDefineByType.Component
  Rotor_Inflation.NamedSelection = ExtAPI.DataModel.GetObjectsByName("Rotor_Face")[0]
  Rotor_Inflation.InflationOption = 1
  Rotor_Inflation.FirstLayerHeight = Quantity(0.4, "mm")
  Rotor_Inflation.MaximumLayers = 15
  Rotor_Inflation.NamedSelection = ExtAPI.DataModel.GetObjectsByName("Rotor_Aussenkante")[0]
  Rotor_Inflation.Name = r"""Rotor_Inflation"""
  Tree.Refresh()
  mesh.GenerateMesh()
  I try to address everything via NameSelection, since I have already defined them in advance.
  Now I have the first issue that in the second line "Rotor_Inflation.ScopingMethod = GeometryDefineByType.Component" I get the following output:
  "Typenkonflikt. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80020005 (DISP_E_TYPEMISMATCH))"
  I would like to know if "Component" is wrong here or what else I should use?
  
  My second question is, how do I change the "Boundary Scoping Method" as right now I'm using two times the same code (Line 3 and 7) and this is not working as well?
  Hope someone can help me out.
  Best regards.
