Create Linear Dynamic Study Example (C#)

This example shows how to create a linear dynamic study.

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 as 
//    a reference (in the IDE's Project Explorer, right-click
//    the project name, select Add Reference, click the Browse tab,
//    navigate to the install_dir\api\redist\CLR2 folderand
//    select SolidWorks.Interop.cosworks.dll).
// 3. Ensure that the specified file to open exists.
// 4. Ensure that the c:\temp folder exists.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Opens the specified file.
// 2. Creates a linear dynamic study.
// 3. Runs a harmonic analysis. 
// 4. Right-click the Stress1 or Displacement1 plot in the Results folder
//    and select Show to plot the results in color in the graphics area.
// 5. Prints the study options and results to the Immediate window.
// 6. Saves the solution step, displacement, velocity,
//    and stress result files to c:\temp.
//
// NOTE: Because the model is used elsewhere,
// do not save any changes when closing it.
