Create Body From Deformed Shape Example (C#)

This example shows how to save the deformed shape resulting from running a static study.

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Add the SOLIDWORKS Simulation as an add-in 
//    (in SOLIDWORKS, select Tools > Add-ins > SOLIDWORKS Simulation,
//     and click OK). 
// 2. Add the SOLIDWORKS Simulation primary interop assembly as a reference 
//    (in the IDE's Project Explorer, right-click
//     the project name, click Add Reference, click the Browse tab,
//     navigate to install_dir\api\redist\CLR2, 
//     click SolidWorks.Interop.cosworks.dll, and click OK).
// 3. Ensure that the specified model exists.
// 4. Open an Immediate window.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Opens the model document.
// 2. Gets the static study.
// 3. Meshes the model.
// 4. Sets the solver type.
// 5. Analyzes the study.
// 6. Saves the deformed shape as
//    install_dir\samples\tutorial\api\deformedBody.sldprt.
// 7. Inspect the Immediate window.
//
// NOTE: Because the model is used elsewhere, do not save changes.
