Im no Python pro, but have you tried feeding it multiple elements? Looks like the loop is giving you trouble, because it’s expecting a list, and not a single element.

You can’t use for loop for instance.
Try to connect selectModelElements -> List.Create -> python script
and do the same with insulation thickness

Thanks for the input, but still no luck.
