How to Added objects in SceneKit SWIFT - xcode

Question

I have 2 files that I imported from Blender(3D design program) they are both .dae specifically they are "CampusField1.dae" CampusField is the ground/floor of the game and "Bob.dae" is the Man/character. My question is when I set CampusField1 as the scene how do I get "Bob" in the scene too. And the other question is lets say I export the .dae from blender now I put the file in the game... every things good but then is the animation for Bob already attached to the Bob.dae file or do I have to export something else from blender so that I can run the animation because I don't know what the animation ID would be or how to actually make it run and to actually make Bob do something.
Code:
import UIKit
import QuartzCore
import SceneKit
class GameViewController: UIViewController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let scene = SCNScene(named: "art.scnassets/CampusField1.dae")!
let src = SCNSceneSource(URL: yourSceneURL, options: nil)
let node = src.entryWithIdentifier("Bob", withClass: SCNNode.self) as SCNNode
let animation = node.entryWithIdentifier("yourAnimationID", withClass: CAAnimation.self) as CAAnimation

The first thing to tell you is you have got two SCNScene; CampusField and Bob. Therefore you need to take out the character node from the Bob scene.
You need to name the node as like from the above figure. And extract that node from the scene as:
let bobScene = SCNScene(named: "Bob.dae")
let bobNode = personScene?.rootNode.childNodeWithName("person", recursively: true)
let campusFieldScene = SCNScene(named: "CampusField1.dae")
campusFieldScene.rootNode.addChildNode(bobNode)
