It can be chosen between a discrete and a continuous spectrum. The scale can be changed by replacing a number with a distinctly chosen number. The default scale spectrum can be set to 2 times the stress goal, which is a good fit for all optimisations. This displays the even distribution of the selected stress goal with the colour range of green and critical points are viewable in red. The fixated Non-Design Spaces are displayed in blue because no stresses can occur in these areas. At the bottom out of range colours can be activated, which show areas which are above or under the adjusted scale. Moreover, the spectrum can be locked to compare different iterations with the same spectrum.

Failure Criterion
For isotropic material behavior the Failure Criterion is the von Mises stress distribution normalized to the value which corresponds with the chosen Stress Goal. Values above one exceed the optimisation target, values beneath show areas with more optimisation potential. The maximum value can be displayed in a chart over the number of iterations.

Displacements
By selecting the displacement button, the translational displacements are shown. It can be chosen between the resultant or the component displacement for each direction.
