in the mesh mode: viewing elements, faces and/or nodes
culling back/front
changing the colour of geometric or mesh entities
fringe plots
animation of displacements (especially nice for modal analysis) and other results over time
printing values in picked nodes
changing the scale (minimum and/or maximum)
mapping the results on subparts of the model
screening through the model
