Create Results Equation Plot Example (C#)

This example shows how to create a results equation plot in a static 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. Add a breakpoint to the line that begins with "EqnResultMinMax = ".
// 4. Add a breakpoint to the line that begins with "EqnResultEntire = ".
// 5. Open public_documents\samples\Simulation Examples\tutor1.sldprt.  
// 
// Postconditions:
// 1. Activates Ready static study.
// 2. Meshes and runs the study.
// 3. Creates results equation plot, Equation1.
// 4. Press F8 to execute the current line.
// 5. Click Debug > Windows > Locals.
// 6. Inspect local variable EqnResultMinMax to see the nodal minimum and maximum
//    for Equation1 for the entire model.
// 7. Press F8 to execute the current line.
// 8. Inspect local variable EqnResultEntire to see the nodal results
//    for Equation1 for the entire model.
// 9. Press F5 to complete the macro.
//10. Inspect My Equation Plot in the graphics area.
//
// NOTE: Because the model is used elsewhere, do not save changes.
