Further it can be selected whether only a "Preview", a "Balanced" or a "Fine Tune" optimization up to the printable design should take place. In most cases, a "Preview" only takes a few minutes and gives an overview of the weight and stress development that an optimization can achieve under the given boundary conditions. This result is not a finished calcultion and does not consider the defined stress goal yet. Is is a very fast, first shot at the optimization and can be used to check the boundary conditions and the ratio of the load constraints to the stress goal. The "Balanced" optimization can take up to a few hours, depending on the boundary conditions, number of events and the complexity of the model. It provides a detailed/high resolution design proposal. The "Fine Tune" option takes the longest time, because the resolution of the last iterations of the optimization is at the highest in order to obtain a good printable surface and detailed structure of the component.
An example of the different settings is shown in the following pictures.
