Get Linearized Stress Results Example (C#)

This example shows how to get the stress results that are linearized along Stress Classification Lines for 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 type library as a reference (in the IDE,
//     click Tools > References > SOLIDWORKS Simulation version type library).
//  3. Open pubic_documents\Simulation Examples\pressurevessel.sldprt.
//  4. Open the Immediate window.
//  5. Mesh Ready-Solids using a curvature-based mesh with a maximum of 10 elements.
//  6. Analyze Ready-Solids.
//  7. Create Pressure Vessel Design 1 study, using a linear combination of
//     Ready-Solids with Factor = 1.
//  8. Analyze Pressure Vessel Design 1.
//  9. Create a default von Mises stress plot of the results.
//
// Postconditions:
//  1. Gets the following stress values linearized along Stress Classification Lines
//     for the specified points on the planar section created by the Top plane:
//     * 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.
