In the live Post Processing, the iterations of the optimisation are displayed as soon as they are available. The current iteration is shown and the number is displayed at the bottom progress bar. Furthermore, the progress bar shows the planned number of iterations. The Design Space can be displayed by selecting the button Initial Shape beneath the progress bar. The optimisation can be aborted by selecting the stop button next to the scenario in the left top corner. After finishing or aborting the optimisation the Post Process can be left with the exit button in the right bottom corner.

The Failure Criterion can be chosen in the studies tab for every optimisation scenario. Dependent on the intention of the optimisation it can be chosen between the equivalent von Mises Stress, a FFF Thumb Rule or directional dependent Tsai-Hill or Tsai-Wu Failure Criteria. More information regarding the Failure Criteria here.
In combination with the Safety Factor and the material properties (material limits) the Failure Criterion is the objective of the optimisation. The target is to load all the material with a value of 1 of the chosen Failure Criterion.

Furthermore, the displayed geometry can be transferred directly to the model tree. Either as a NURBS-Geometry (CAD) or as a Facet-Geometry. Therefore, the button on the right side Transfer Design Candidate Shape to pre process can be used. After transferring
If the Smooth-Geometry is transferred to the model tree Pre Processing as a NURBS CAD-file can be created. How to do this is described here.
...
-Geometry, the CAD-Retransitioning is executed automatically. If also the Map LBC and Material function is activated, the boolean intersection with the initial Design Space is performed in the same step and the geometry is ready for the following workflow steps e.g. a FE-Reanalysis.
If the Smooth-Geometry is transferred as a Facet-Geometry, the CAD-Retransitioning can be done manually.

Build Direction
If a Build Direction was entered during the model set up it can be visualised in the Post Processing as well. A build direction can be used for Manufacturing Methods like FFF or Metal AM.
