Accessing Geodes with duplicate Names

[Felix]

Hi,
I have the following problem when loading an .IVE or .OSG file exported from a .3ds file:

Some nodes in the SceneGraph of the OSG file get the same Geode names assigned.

Which looks like this:
Node-1
- Geode-1
Node-2
- Geode-1

Now when using the Vizard API to access such a Geode like mentioned here: http://kb.worldviz.com/articles/1157 I run into trouble.

The documention of <node3d>.getChild states

If there are multiple scene graph nodes with the same name, then the first encountered node will be used.

Calling this command multiple times with the same name will return the same node3d object.

I can properly iterate over the names of the child nodes when doing a model.getChild('Node-1').getChildren() or model.getChild('Node-2').getChildren(). Here I can see, that each node in the SceneGraph indeed has it's own Geode but with the same name.

From what I understand, <node3d>.getChildren() won't help either. So how do I access this Geode (Node-2, Geode-1 in the example..), since getChild only returns Node-1, Geode-1?
