Imprint surface

[CesarAero]

I am trying to create an imprint surface by using a similar method with TUI commands : https://innovationspace.ansys.com/courses/courses/topics-in-general-post-processing-using-ansys-fluent-ii/lessons/loading-and-imprinting-surfaces-using-tui-commands/

I've managed ro read the geometry that I wand to load using

session.settings.mesh.surface_mesh.read(file_name=stl2load, unit='m')

I can manually select the surface and create the imprint surface but it is imported with a Fluent default name which i don't know how to query using pyfluent. Once I know the name of the surface I can easily create the imprint using:

session_imprint_surf = session.settings.results.surfaces.imprint_surface

session_imprint_surf.create('surf_imprint')
surf_imprint_state = session_imprint_surf['surf_imprint'].get_state()
surf_imprint_state['name'] = 'surf_imprint'
surf_imprint_state['surface'] =  'surface_name'
surf_imprint_state['zones']  = ['fluid']
session_plane_surf['surf_imprint'].set_state(surf_imprint_state)

My question here is: How can I import a geometry and rename it to use it in postprocessing?

@CesarAero, you could query using:

>>> session.settings.results.surfaces.imprint_surface()

To rename:

>>> session.settings.results.surfaces.imprint_surface['<surface_name>'].rename(name="new_name")

@CesarAero, please let us know if you need more information related to this.

With this you can create an imprint surface and rename it but first you need to have another surface loaded and ready to be selected in the imprint surface manager. I can load the surface using session.settings.mesh.surface_mesh.read(file_name=stl2load, unit='m') but then I lose track of it in the code.
