This example shows how to get the number and names of the features in a multibody sheet metal part.

//--------------------------------------------------------------------------

// Preconditions: A multibody sheet metal part is open.

//

// Postconditions: Compare the results printed to the

// Immediate window with the bodies and

// features in the sheet metal solid bodies folder.
