Material removal in Topology Optimization

      When I perform topology optimization in Ansys 2021 R1, it shows the material being retained is moved based on the legend shown in red (see pictures). However, result from an old version of Ansys shows the retaining material is in grey. Can someone please tell me if my result is still accurate?

      No it doesn't. It doesnt change the result.
