      I upgraded to ANSYS 2024 R1, and now my results appear too dark. The color gradient for displacements and stress is barely visible.

      This issue occurs regardless of whether I use classic, light, or dark mode.

      I would appreciate any advice on how to make it lighter and clearer. Thanks!

      Please check the Lighting Properties under Model Details and set Ambient, Diffuse and Specular values correctly.

      It is possible that Diffuse values were disturbed(reduced to near 0 value) leading to a dark image. Try to increase this value to around 0.5 or higher

      Check Ansys help to better understand each settings Model

      Thanks! That’s the solution!

      I really didn’t know about this option, and I kept trying 'Options' and 'Preferences' in the main menus without success
