# 2.2.8 Retrieve Results

## Visualization

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).
