thank you! im just wondering why i cant view the results obtained from optistruct. usually theres a button saying results that opens up a new window. is there any other way to view the results?

Yes, your results are the .h3d files in your run directory. You can open hyperview and open them there (s1.h3d is the load results, des.h3d is the topology results) there should also be 2 .mvw files (session files) the hist.mvw loads the graphs of the optimisation progression, the other one (just.mvw) loads the 2 h3d files in pages for you. You should be able to just double click the mvw files and they should open HyperView and open the files automatically. Or you can open hyperview and load the mvw session files that way.
