How to set a tag name for a surface using Python?

User: "exMSC"

Using Python and Hypermesh 2024, what would be a Python code to set the tag attribute name for a surface? I'd like to run through a list of selected surfaces in Hypermesh and have the Python code assign a sequential name (tag) to each name such as, "stiffener01", "stiffener02", etc.

Thanks.

    in HM 25.0 we have the pythonrecorder

    import hm
    import hm.entities as ent

    def run():
    from hm.mdi import apis
    model = apis.HmModelDebug()

    # [TCL]: *tagcreate surfaces 37 "tag_label1" "body_label1" 4
    
entityptr = ent.Surface(model, 37)
    
# [TIP]: tagcreate is deprecated.
    
model.tagcreate(entityptr=entityptr, label="tag_label1", body="body_label1", color=4)

    
# [TCL]: *createmark tags 2 1
    
# [TCL]: *setvalue tags mark=2 description=description
    
tags_collection = hm.Collection(model, hm.FilterByEnumeration(ent.Tag, ids=[1]))
    
tags_collection.set_items('description', "description")

    
# [TCL]: *tagcreate surfaces 49 "tag_label2" "body_label2" 4
    
entityptr_1 = ent.Surface(model, 49)
    
# [TIP]: tagcreate is deprecated.
    
model.tagcreate(entityptr=entityptr_1, label="tag_label2", body="body_label2", color=4)

    
# [TCL]: *createmark tags 2 2
    
# [TCL]: *setvalue tags mark=2 description=description2
    
tags_collection_1 = hm.Collection(model, hm.FilterByEnumeration(ent.Tag, ids=[2]))
    
tags_collection_1.set_items('description', "description2")
