Get COSMOSMotion Motion Study Properties and Results Example (VBA)

This example shows how to get a COSMOSMotion motion study's properties and results.

 

'------------------------------------------

' Preconditions: Model is open that has a COSMOSMotion motion study

'                named PhysSim and at least one COSMOSMotion motion study plot.

'

' Postconditions: None
