Analyze Part (C#)
This example shows how to create a static analysis of a part.
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).
// 2. Add
the SolidWorks Simulation primary interop assembly
// (in
the IDE's Project Explorer, right-click
// the
project name, select Add Reference, click the Browse tab,
// navigate
to the <SolidWorks_install_dir>\api\redist\CLR2 folder and
// select
SolidWorks.Interop.cosworks.dll)
// 3. Modify
the path to solidworks materials.sldmat
as needed.
// 4. Open
the Immediate window.
// 5. Run
the macro.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Study
called Static-solid is created.
// 2. Material
is applied to the model.
// 3. Restraints
and pressure are applied to the selected faces.
// 4. Mesh
is created.
// 5. Analysis
is run.
// 6. Stress
and strain values written to Immediate window.
//
// NOTE: Because this part document is used
// by an online SolidWorks Simulation tutorial,
// do not save any changes when closing the
// the document.
