You can create custom objects or loads that don’t affect the solution
state. Any interactions with the object or load, such as inserting, suppressing,
editing properties, or deleting, will keep the solution up-to-date. The feature can
be used by setting the affectSolution attribute to false on
the <object> or <load>
tag:
<object name="objectName" version="1" caption="Object" icon="group" affectsSolution="false" > </object>
For example, if a load with the attribute
affectSolution="false" is inserted in a solved analysis,
the solution will stay up-to-date. If this attribute is not set, it will default to
true. This feature also extends to the child entities. You can define a child entity
with the same attribute and it will not affect the solution state.
Tip: In Template2-GenericObjectCreation, you can see an
example where this callback is implemented. To download all Mechanical
