I now want to use pyfluent to add local dimensions in fluent meshing, as shown in the figure. I would like to select zone name by label as "oil_fluid-oil_fluid_0", "oil_fluid-oil_fluid_1"...'oil_fluid oil_fluid_5'(six zone). I successfully created a local size using the following code, but now I want to make my code more intelligent because the number of zones I have may change in the future. I would like to know if there is a way to directly select all zones with 'oil_fluid oil_fluid' in their names. Regardless of whether the number of zones increases or decreases, I can quickly select the zone I want. What can i do? Please help me, thank you very much!!!!

    meshing_session.workflow.TaskObject["Add Local Sizing"].Arguments.setState(AddChild="yes",
                                                                               BOIControlName="bodysize_oil",
                                                                               BOIExecutio="Body Size",
                                                                               BOIFaceLabelList=["oil_fluid-oil_fluid_0",
                                                                                                 "oil_fluid-oil_fluid_1",
                                                                                                 "oil_fluid-oil_fluid_2",
                                                                                                 "oil_fluid-oil_fluid_3",
                                                                                                 "oil_fluid-oil_fluid_4",
                                                                                                 "oil_fluid-oil_fluid_5"],
                                                                               BOISize=2)

i got it. I used the following code to select all zones with "oil_fluid oil_fluid" in their names. At present, it has solved my problem, but I also want to know if there are other ways to obtain zone name by label to achieve intelligent and convenient selection of zone name meshing_session.workflow.TaskObject["Add Local Sizing"].Arguments.setState( AddChild="yes", BOIControlName="bodysize_oil", BOIExecutio="Body Size", BOIFaceLabelList='*oil_fluid-oil_fluid*', BOISize=2)
