Plot the material density results

  1. In the Simulation Navigator, expand the solution node→Results.

  2. Double-click the Structural node.

  3. In the Post Processing Navigator, expand the solution node→StructuralLoadcase Independent ResultsDesign Cycle x, where x is the number of the design cycle whose material density results you want to view.

  4. Right-click Normalized Mass Density - Elemental and then click Plot.If prompted, select the viewport to use.
