color scale with the values is missing

...and it works there. I don't think it's the "user-friendliness" issue you've described, it simply doesn't work on that other machine and build. Strange enough, it's apparently the same build 0.17.13408 (but W7 vs W10).

I never heard someone had that problem. Just to be sure it really is some problem would you try again the following:

inside the task panel of a force constraint:
- click on a face --> click on Add reference --> the face will be deselected
but
- click Add reference --> click on a face --> the face will be added to the references

OK, I caused a bit of confusion, sorry for that. This command didn't work, but it was the Release2, not Release3, where the problem occured. I noticed I ran a wrong version on W10 machine, when checking again. So the problem is gone...

- select the result object in tree view
- Menue Results --> Post pipeline from result --> new object pipeline in tree view
- double click on new object in tree view --> mode surface --> field displacement
- double clicke on the scale to change values

- you should enable back light in FreeCADs display preferences.

Thank you Bernd, I finally got it displayed! The "Pipeline" is really confusing, I thought it has someting to do with CFD all along. But it's great, seems to work well. I did also some analytical computations and got reasonably similar results (within few percents or less). Nice!

I have one small question though - is it normal, that the object is all black and only the wireframe displays the color gradient of selected result property? Whatever I do, the surface is black...

Super! Now it works really great.

Maybe a check for 'backlight-enabled' would help e.g. when adding/inserting a pipeline.
