# 2.2.8 Retrieve Results ## Visualization

Fig. 2.2.8.1: Three components for visualizing the model: “ModelView”, "ReactionView", “BeamView” and “ShellView”.

Karamba3D offers four components for visualizing a structural model (see fig. 2.2.8.1): | Component | Description | | ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | **“ModelView”** | Sets the basic visualization properties such as the scaling factor of displacements, sizes of symbols, and number of displayed load cases. | | **“BeamView”** | Visualizes beams. | | **“ShellView”** | Visualizes shells. | | **"ReactionView"** | Provides enhanced options for visualizing reaction forces at supports. | Each component contains submenus that can be expanded by clicking on the black caption bar. The numerical range of sliders can be adjusted by double-clicking on their black knob. Visualization properties persist with the model until overridden by another downstream visualization component. ## **Results** Structural response properties can be used to inform and optimize the model. Figure 2.2.8.2 illustrates some of the available options: 1. Nodal displacements. 2. Level of material utilization. 3. Cross section forces. 4. Reaction forces.

## **Disassembling a Structural Model** To modify a model or retrieve details such as cross section types after optimization, Karamba3D allows for the disassembly of models, elements, cross sections, and materials. The components **“Disassemble Model”**, **“Disassemble Element”**, **“Disassemble Cross Section”**, and **“Disassemble Material”** enable detailed dissection of a structural model (see Fig. 2.2.8.3).
