4. In the case of a successful calculation, the console displays the message: Calculation finished successfully at "date" "time".

Results analysis

1. Open the file with the results. There are three ways to do that.

The FidesysViewer window will appear, in which you can view the calculation results.

Display Displacements (Magnitude) on the model.

Display Stress (Mises) on the model.

Using Console Interface

Geometry creating, meshing, setting boundary conditions and materials can be performed using the console interface. Below is a link to the program code that allows you to perform the steps described above manual, you only need to specify the full path and name.
