Multi body - find both faces which divide one part into two

Hello All,

 

I have a multi-body part and want to find the both faces which divide the bodys. The first face I pick with the "SelectSet" command.The second one the program should find on its own.

If I pick a boundary face, it should give an error.

 

One attempt is to create a point on the first face and use the "LocateUsingPoint". But is there a more elegant way for this task?

 

(Unfortunately there are little examples of the topic multi-body parts.)

 

Regards

Hello Brian,

 

here is a picture of a conical tube .ipt, divided into two bodys. I try to pick both of the inside lying faces and store them in my own class. (This is a small peace of a particle-tracking simulation. The particles have to know, in which body they are.)

 

Best Regards
