   * deflection scale
   * [[wiki:sns:intactgh:results#Visualization Settings|visualization settings]]
+  * a clipping plane GUID from Rhino, to sample/visualize the clipping plane intersection. For more info, see❓[[wiki:sns:intactgh:faq#Results and Visualization|Frequently Asked Questions]]
+📌See [[wiki:sns:intactgh:results#Visualization Hints|Visualization Hints]] for how to hide geometries that are interefering with visualization and how to get scaled deflection

-A Visualization Settings block allows configuring the display of the visualization.
+The **Visualization Settings** block controls how simulation results are displayed.
+It has three main inputs:
-The inputs are the maximum and minimum fraction of the full scale of the quantity you want to visualize, and an index indicating a different legend color scale to use. The defaults are to visualize the full range of the quantity of interest, and the default color scale is a rainbow color scale.
+  * **Lmin / Lmax** – minimum and maximum fraction of the full result range to show.
+    *Example:* to display only the middle 50% of the result values, set ''Lmin'' = 0.25 and ''Lmax'' = 0.75.
-For example, to visualize the middle 50% of range of the quantity of interest, set ''Lmin'' to 0.25 and ''Lmax'' to 0.75.
+  * **Li (Legend ID)** – selects the color scale used for visualization. Each integer value corresponds to a preset colormap (see legend image below).
+  * **Show Glyphs** – a toggle to enable or disable the display of boundary condition glyphs.
+**Defaults:**
+Full range of the result (''Lmin'' = 0, ''Lmax'' = 1), rainbow color scale (''Li'' = 0), and boundary condition glyphs hidden.

 ===== Visualization Hints =====
-** Z-fighting ** Visualization of results is best performed with the original geometry on a hidden layer or in Rhino viewports that are in wireframe mode.  This avoids the z-fighting that occurs when Rhino draws both the original geometry and the simulation results.
+Note: you may have to hide other geometries that interfere with the result visualization (** Z-fighting **) and also use Wireframe mode. Other geometries may have been added through Grasshopper (hide by **turning off Preview** for the GH block) or through Rhino (using Rhino's **Hide** command)

+Usage of deflection scale to animate the part deflection.
+  * Scale the deformation to see the deflected shape
+{{ :wiki:sns:intactgh:9-_post_process_deflection_.mp4?750 |}}
 ** Previews ** In the same vein, the inputs to the simulation (components, loads, and restraints) can have their previews turned off to avoid their geometry interfering with the visualization of results.

   * **Danger Level.** For a specific failure criterion, a danger level is a scalar value that ranges between 0 and 1. It is computed at every point as a ratio of the computed value of the selected failure criterion to the threshold value known to cause failure of the particular material. A value greater than 1, indicates that the computed value exceeds the known threshold.
