Plot the material density results
In the Simulation Navigator, expand the solution node→Results.
Double-click the Structural node.
In the Post Processing Navigator, expand the solution node→Structural→Loadcase Independent Results→Design Cycle x, where x is the number of the design cycle whose material density results you want to view.
Right-click Normalized Mass Density - Elemental and then click Plot.If prompted, select the viewport to use.
