The AnalysisSet object aggregates five collections:

An AnalysisSets collection, since a set can be made up of other sets
An AnalysisEntities collection
An AnalysisOutputEntities collection
An AnalysisImages collection
A BasicComponents collection.

The AnalysisEntities collection includes AnalysisEntity objects. From one Analysis entity, you can read and valuate the physical data that is required for the preprocessing activity and apply the entity to a support. This support can be of several types [1]. Sensors are specific entities.

The AnalysisOutputEntities collection includes AnalysisEntity objects that are the results of an Analysis set.

The AnalysisImages collection includes AnalysisImage objects. The AnalysisImage object is dedicated to manage visualization of the finite element view of the model.

The BasicComponents collection includes BasicComponent objects. The BasicComponent object is dedicated to support the physical data that defines the parameters of an Analysis set or an Analysis entity.

The AnalysisImport and AnalysisExport objects can be retrieved from the AnalysisSet object thanks to the GetItem method. Here is an example with AnalysisImport.

Dim set As AnalysisSet
...
Dim anImport As AnalysisImport
Set anImport = set.GetItem("AnalysisImport")

Change AnalysisImport to AnalysisExport to get an AnalysisExport object.
