# Load 2D results

On completion of a 2D simulation (2D only, or 2D linked to river and/or urban), you can load the results to view directly in the **Map** view of the interface. These can then also be animated to further enhance visualisation of the simulation results.

NoteThis is just one way to load results. An alternative option is to use the **Add GIS Data** button, please see [Additional details on 2D results](/v1/docs/additional-details-on-2d-results) for further details.

To load 2D results:

1. In the **Simulations** section of the **Project** panel, select the simulation name.
2. Right-click and navigate to **Load 2D Time Series** to open a new window showing available variables and timesteps. All variables and timesteps are selected by default. To only display a selection, click the button above the relevant field(s) to **Deselect all**, and then individually select the variables and timesteps of interest.NoteVarious check-boxes are provided on this window to additionally load check grids, diagnostic logs, mass balance files and connected networks (if applicable).
3. Click **OK** to visualise the results on the **Map** view. Each variable, and the maximum extent of these, will also be added as a layer within the **Layers** panel.
