Python API: obtain a Set of Elements associated with a LoadFlux

Hello,

I am working in HyperMesh (OptiStruct). My model contains a LoadFlux load, which is referencing a Set of elements. I can see the reference in the 'References' tab (image attached). Is it possible to find this reference programmatically, using Python API?

Thanks

Hi @Igor_S

You can use model.hm_getreferencedentities.

here's the 'References' tab, b.t.w.

So, given the LoadFlux with id 507, I'd like to locate the Set with id 7

Thank you very much for the prompt response. It works!

Follow-up question: The HEATFLUX in the dialog refers to Facets rather than Elements. However, (6) set1 references Element objects. How can I get the facets?
