Create Frequency Study with Mixed Mesh Example (C#)

This example shows how to create a frequency study using a mixed mesh.

NOTE: To get persistent reference identifiers (PIDs) for model selections, you can use pidcollector.exe or IModelDocExtension::GetPersistReference3.

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Add the SOLIDWORKS Simulation as an add-in (in SOLIDWORKS, click 
//    Tools > Add-ins > SOLIDWORKS Simulation > OK).
// 2. Add the SOLIDWORKS Simulation primary interop assembly as a reference
//    (in the IDE, click Project > Add Reference > .NET > 
//    SolidWorks.Interop.cosworks > OK).
// 3. Ensure that the specified material library exists.
// 4. Ensure that the specified model document exists.
// 5. Open the Immediate window.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Opens the model.
// 2. Creates a frequency mixed-mesh study.
// 3. Applies material.
// 4. Adds a fixed restraint.
// 5. Adds a bonded contact set.
// 6. Creates a mesh.
// 7. Runs an analysis.
// 8. Inspect the Immediate window.
//
// NOTE: Because the model is used elsewhere, do not save changes.
