I want to make a set with the help of some python code. The coordinates for the set are stored in the list circle list.

The following I tried:

Code:

---

p = mdb.models['Model-1'].parts['Part-1']
f = p.faces

coordinates_for_faces = tuple()

for i in range(0, len(circleList)):
    tuple_coordinates= (circleList[i].center.x, circleList[i].center.y,0.0)
    coordinates_for_faces = coordinates_for_faces + tuple_coordinates

print("coordinates_for_faces:",  coordinates_for_faces)
faces = f.findAt(*coordinates_for_faces)
p.Set(faces=faces, name='SetOfFibers')

---

So I stored the coordinates in a tupel. In faces I tried to reference these tupels.

This brings the error "Keyword error on faces" while running the code in python.

I also tried to make a list of tupels and hand over that list of tupels. Attached is the whole code.

I've run your script and it throws several error unrelated to your question. First the name of a function is not matching, then the number of arguments doesn't fit. I've fixed both, but then a problem with a variable and it's namespace appeared.

Maybe you create a simple example that focuses on the question.

You try to create a sequence of coordinates and therefrom a sequence of faces. I believe this will not work.
Better is to create a face from a coordinate and therefrom a sequence of faces. in your case:

    faces = []
    for i in range(0, len(circleList)):
        tuple_coordinates = ((circleList[i].center.x, circleList[i].center.y,0.0),)
        face = f.findAt( tuple_coordinates)
        fi =  face[0].index
        faces.append( f[fi:fi+1])

    p.Set(faces=faces, name='SetOfFibers')

I simplified it a bit. No I have a rectangular part with a rectangular inclusion.
My function "MakeSet" should make a set of both rectangles.

Problem: The function only makes a set of one of the two rectangles.
When I change the  range(0,2) to range(1,2), it makes a set of the larger rectangle without the inclusion.

The final aim is to build a function which makes a set of round inclusions (~50 of them) in a rectangle.

def MakeSet(circleList):

    p = mdb.models['Model-1'].parts['Part-1']
    f = p.faces

    list_x = (1,-1,0)
    list_y = (1,-1,0)

    coordinates_for_faces = tuple()
    tuple_coordinates = tuple()

    for i in range(0,2):
        tuple_coordinates = ((list_x[i], list_y[i], 0.0),)
        coordinates_for_faces = coordinates_for_faces + tuple_coordinates

    print("coordinates_for_faces", coordinates_for_faces)
    faces = f.findAt(coordinates_for_faces)
    p.Set(faces=faces, name='SetOfFibers')
