Interfaces have to be created for every functional surface - so every surface where a boundary condition is applied to. With this Tool an offset to the inside with the input “Non-Design Space Thickness” and an offset to the outside with the input “Machining Allowance” is created. The Offset Distance is expanding the Interface to the set value to create material on front faces.
...
The same is done for the second dummy load. For this, the translational displacement in x-direction is free as well.

The optimisation parameters are selected in the Studies Area as well.
Manufacturing Method: Generic AM
Failure Criteria: Von Mises
Safety Factor: 35
Strut Density: Medium
Shape Quality: Balanced
...
Step 8: Starting the optimisation in the command line and visualize the results
...
The optimisation results can be imported back into the graphical user interface. Therefore, the Import Generative Design Results option is used. The post processing can be accessed over the new imported scenario.

Inside the Post-Processing the von Mises stress and the displacements are visible for all iterations and for every Event
In the picture below the displacement in z-direction is displayed
