Nurbs Button
After starting an optimisation MSC Apex Generative Design automatically switches to the Post Processing. When an optimisation is finished the results of the project can always be visualized inside the post process.
...
The Optimisation evaluation is displayed in the Optimisation Achievement Index. This shows in which areas the optimisation goal was reached, was exceeded or where there is more potential. So this value gives an indication in which areas the structure will change in the next iteration either by growing or reducing elements regarding to the colour.

, Result Export and Transfer to Model Tree
The buttons in the bottom bar give the opportunity to switch between three different geometries.
...
The Print-Geometry is the Geometry which can be directly manufactured. It includes the extra material from the applied Machining Allowances which can be removed in a precise machining process like milling.
...
STL Export
All of these three geometries can be exported as an a STL-file by selecting the button Export Design Candidate (beneath the progress bar). Because Generative Designs can be very complex, we recommend saving files as Binary-STLs.
...
Transfer Geometry
Furthermore, the displayed geometry can be transferred directly to the model tree. Therefore, the button on the right side can be used. After transferring the Smooth-Geometry to the model tree a NURBS CAD-file can be created. How to do this is described here.
...
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.
...
Result Files
You can find all result files as well as the different log files of the optimisation in your workspace. Per default your workspace is defined as:
