Third-Party Solver Connections in Mechanical

The supplied extension ExtSolver1 shows how to add a connection to a third-party solver, which allows an external solver to be started from the Mechanical system rather than the Ansys solver. This example demonstrates the ability to connect to a very simple solver that distributes the values assigned at boundaries inside the structure:

Creating the Extension for Connecting to a Third-Party Solver
Defining Functions for Connecting to a Third-Party Solver
Creating a Result Reader to Expose Results
Loading and Saving Third-Party Solver Data
Creating a Custom Solver that Can Bypass the Function Evaluation of Properties on Native Objects

Note: Although the supplied extension DemonstratationSolver is not described, it also shows how to add a connection to a third-part solver. This newer example is perhaps more reliable.
