🐞 Description of the bug

The same simulations are being added to a study each time a script is executed resulting in duplicate simulations.

📝 Steps to reproduce

Run the following script multiple times without removing ms-study.ps in between runs. 7 simulations will be added each time the script is run. The study should only contain the 7 simulations added the first time the script was run. The print call should write 7 every time the script is run.

from ansys.additive.core import Additive
from ansys.additive.core.parametric_study import ParametricStudy

study = ParametricStudy("ms-study")
additive = Additive()
material = "316L"

study.generate_microstructure_permutations(
    material_name=material,
    laser_powers=[100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700],
    scan_speeds=[1],
    size_x=1e-3,
    size_y=1e-3,
    size_z=1.1e-3,
    sensor_dimension=1e-4,
    layer_thicknesses=[30e-6],
    iteration=1,
)

print(len(study.data_frame()))
