Apply Loads to Beams Example (VB.NET)

'---------------------------------------------------------------------------
' 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 the specified part exists.
' 4. Open the Immediate window.
'
' Postconditions:
' 1. Loads are applied to the part, and their
'    distribution types are shown in the Immediate
'    window.
' 2. To verify, examine the External Loads folder
'    in Study 3 in the Simulation tree.
'
' NOTE: Because this part document is used elsewhere, do not save changes.
