Hello,

In my projet have big error of Type. For example :

TypeError: expected IDesignBody, got DesignBody

TypeError: expected ISelection, got Selection

In a document API_Scripting_Class_Library.chm in C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\v222\scdm\SpaceClaim.Api.V22, ISelection is interface, but I don't know use it. 

For instance, function  "SpaceClaim.Api.V22.Scripting.Helpers.MeasureHelper.BodyExtrema(selection_example).X" need as input a ISelection (selection_example) and have for ouput a float

What is a right code for selection_example is a ISelection ? Or how to change Selection type to ISelection type?

thanks for the help

Can you please give some more information about this error? At which line do you get this? Are you using a recorded script?

import clr

import sys

import os

import math

import zipimport

import __builtin__

import commands

import random

    part = None

 

There are error on "xOverall=SpaceClaim.Api.V22.Scripting.Helpers.MeasureHelper.BodyExtrema(selection).X"

"selection" is not right, we need an "ISelection" type and we have the "Selection" type. I can't use the "MeasureHelper.BodyExtrema()" function, when I use it in Wizard.

Thank you
