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.

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. For the Failure Criterion, the scale can be set from “0” to “2” to easily review the optimisation result. 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.

If the Smooth-Geometry is transferred as a Facet-Geometry, the CAD-Retransitioning can be done manually.

Build Direction
The Build Direction of the Principal Coordinate System (PCS) can be visualised. Thus, several optimisation scenarios with different build directions can compared in the Post Processing.
