Calculate Edge Weld Results Example (C#)

This example shows how to calculate the edge weld results for a specific edge weld connector.

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
// 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 the Immediate window.
// 4. Verify that the specified model exists.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Opens the part document.
// 2. Meshes the part.
// 3. Sets the solver type.
// 4. Runs the analysis.
// 5. Gets the edge weld results for Edge Weld Connector-1.
// 6. Prints the edge weld results to the Immediate window.
//
// NOTE: Because this part document is used elsewhere,
// do not save any changes when closing the document.
