### 2.1.17. Solutions

The Solutions object is only available in postprocessing mode. The individual items under Solutions objects are used to import and read the solution results into ACP. All postprocessing plots (for example, deformation, failure, stress, strain, temperature plots) are linked to individual solutions. Several solutions can be combined into one envelope solution to visualize an overlay of failure results. One solution holds all the results for each analysis system that is linked to ACP-Post in the Workbench schematic. The solution has to be up-to-date and the results need to match the mesh before any postprocessing can be done.

Details on how to configure the results import, create an envelope solution, and plot results are explained in the following sections:
