The Validation Results panel and Active Validation Results panel display the results of the validation: invalid element, severity, explanation of the validation rule and its abbreviation. The Active Validation Results panel shows the results of active validation suites, while the Validation Results panel shows predefined validation suites.

Since the active validation suites always check your model's correctness, you must open the Active Validation Results panel to see the results of active validation.
To open the Active Validation Results panel
