View an outcome's properties	Click an outcome view.
Manipulate the view of the outcomes	Use the Outcome View toolbar on the right. Outcome views are synchronized. Note: The toolbar collapses based on the size of the window.
Display 3D views of outcomes	On the Outcome View tab, click Display > Model View .
Display a transparent view of outcomes. It enables you to see the internal empty spaces, called voids, that may occur during the outcome generation.	On the Outcome View tab, click Display > Transparent View .
Display the stress distribution map on outcomes	On the Outcome View tab, click Display > Stress View .
Display a preview of a design that you create from the outcome. It enables you to view the design before exporting it. It's a default view. To close the preview, click in the top left corner of one of the outcome views. Tip: The preview is only available for the final outcome iteration.	On the Outcome View tab, click Display > Design Preview .
Display preserve geometries from your study setup on an outcome.	On the Outcome View tab, click Show > Preserve Geometry View .
Display obstacle geometries from your study setup on an outcome.	On the Outcome View tab, click Show > Obstacle Geometry View .
Display a starting shape from your study setup on an outcome.	On the Outcome View tab, click Show > Starting Shape View .
Create a 3D design which you can edit from the current outcome's iteration.	On the Outcome View tab, click Create > Design from Outcome . To track the job status, view the color buttons in the top left corner of the view. When the design is ready, open it on another tab and edit using T-Spline tools.
Create a 3D design where a mesh represents model's surfaces from the current outcome's iteration.	On the Outcome View tab, click Create > Mesh Design from Outcome . To track the job status, view the color status buttons in the top left corner of the view. When the design is ready, open it on another tab.
