How to retreive model ID from its handle?

[forstudy3]

I am working on a assembly which has some components.My intention is to retreive ID of each of the components ,I knew model name so I initialized its hanlde using -ProMdlInit() , I used this model handle in ProMdlIdGet() which I supposed will give me identifier of the model.It returns some arbitrary number as 524288 , but when I checked in model info its inernal ID is 39.

I am working on WF 5.0 M060

So is there any way to retreive internal model ID?

You probably mean Component ID , do you?
The model can be in the assembly several times, so you need to work with components, they have own unique feature ID.
Please look to the Pro/Toolkit documentation to the chapter Assemblies ~Visiting Assembly Components. The function you are looking for is called ProSolidFeatVisit and you are searchning for PRO_FEAT_COMPONENT

Yes uor are right I am referring to Component ID.
is there any simple option rather than visiting each of the part compare its name with the on ethat I need and then retreive its ID.

I appreciate your help.

The component ID alone will not allow you to access that specific instance (no reference to family tables here) of that model. You actually need the component path. The component path is the "bread crumb" trail of feature id's from the top-level assembly down to the component. You build this path as you recursively traverse the features (components) of the assembly. _TL_ is correct. You need to call ProSolidFeatVisit on the top-level assembly, filter out all objects that are NOT of type PRO_FEAT_COMPONENT, and then retrieve the feature->id in the action function. There is a great example of this in the documentation that _TL_ mentioned.
