python: highlighting a face

python: highlighting a face

python: highlighting a face

(OP)
Hi,
Is it possible to highlight a face that's been
selected (for applying a load for example), when using python ??

>>> Keyword     mdb.models['Model-1'].rootAssembly.instances['Part-1'].faces[32]

Thank you

RE: python: highlighting a face

When you do this manually in the GUI and then look at the .rpy-file, you don't see any additional line. This makes me suspect it's not possible.

As a workaround you could always make a set for the face and manually highlight the set. I don't know whether that's sufficient for your purposes.

Thank you for your answer, I found that this is possible using the command : highlight(face[number]).
