Get Linearized Stress Results Example (VB.NET)
This example shows how to get the linearized stress results from a pressure
vessel study.
'----------------------------------------------------------------------------
' 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. Open pubic_documents\Simulation
Examples\pressurevessel.sldprt.
' 4. Open the Immediate window.
' 5. Modify Ready-Solids and Partial-Solids to have the same fixtures and a
' pressure load of 100psi.
' 6. Analyze Ready-Solids and Partial-Solids.
' 7. Create Pressure Vessel Design 1 study, using a linear combination of
' Ready-Solids and Partial-Solids with Factor = 1.
' 8. Analyze Pressure Vessel Design 1.
' 9. Create a default von Mises stress plot of the results.
' 10. Create a planar section view of the von Mises stress plot:
' a. Right-click the von Mises stress plot of Pressure Vessel Design 1 and
' click Section Clipping.
' b. In Section 1, click Plane, delete Front, and select Top in the
' FeatureManager design tree.
' c. In Options, click Union and select the first three check boxes.
' d. Click the green check mark to accept the settings.
'
' Postconditions:
' 1. Gets the following linearized normal stress values in the X-direction for
' the specified points on the planar section view of Stress1:
' * Membrane stress
' * Bending (Point 1) stress
' * Membrane stress + bending (Point 1) stress
' * Bending (Point 2) stress
' * Membrane stress + Bending (Point 2) stress
' * Peak (Point 1)
' * Peak (Point 2)
' 2. Inspect the Immediate window.
'
' NOTE: Because the model is used elsewhere, do not save any changes.
