In the result environment, the default displayed result type is “Displacement”. This result type is shown under “Presentations” heading in the browser as well. The software also has a “Saved Presentations” heading within the browser. One can add items to the “Saved Presentations” by simply right clicking on the active presentation in the browser, and choosing “save with system” or save with model”.

If you wish to see “factor of safety results” with a certain custom legend limit (say 15 as  the max) you can create that view by changing result type to show FOS and your legend properties to limit the high value of 15. You can then rename your customized presentation to say “FOS max 15” right click and “save with system”.

Next time you run any analysis on that computer, and are in the results environment, you can simply double click the “FOS max 15” from the saved presentations to recall that presentation.
