In the previous chapter, the visualization of unprocessed
optimization results is discussed. Still, in order to be able to use
the optimization results, they are to be processed ("smoothed"). In
case of a three-dimensional model, the first processed result is the isosurface
generated by <span class = "ph">Tosca Structure.smooth</span>,
that can be either written in a required format directly by <span class = "ph">Tosca Structure.smooth</span>.
If the starting model is two-dimensional, the workflow remains basically
the same except that the surface simply gets modified and no remeshing
is needed. Using <span class = "ph">Tosca Structure.view</span>,
one is able to view the processed optimization results with <code class = "ph codeph">VTFX</code>
files that are also generated by <span class = "ph">Tosca Structure.smooth</span>.
A complete analysis of a finished optimization task can be only achieved
by the validation run of the FE solver corresponding to the initial model.
External post-processors can be used to generate a model
for finite element analysis, using the results of <span class = "ph">Tosca Structure.smooth</span>
as starting point.
