<p>The procedure to set up a validation run for a solid mesh is as follows:</p>
<ul class = "ul">
<li class = "li">Create a smooth isosurface of your optimization results and exclude
your loaded elements from the isosurface result. Note: this is
only possible using <span class = "ph">Tosca Structure.pre</span>
(check "Exclude loaded Elements" box). </li>
<li class = "li">Output the isosurface to your solver format.</li>
<li class = "li">Load the isosurface into your preprocessor and add the original loaded
elements (plus all elements containing loaded or fixed nodes) including
the original loads and fixations.</li>
<li class = "li"> Remesh your isosurface in your preprocessor.</li>
<li class = "li">Write the complete model to your solver format and start the solver
run.</li>
</ul>
<p>Note: this workflow strongly depends on your preprocessor capabilities
and might require manual corrections of the model from your part.</p>
