Why I couldn't find the variable comp1.dtopo1.theta when using the density model of TO module?

At the very least, the "dtopo1.theta" variable should be present when utilizing the Topology Optimization module. Additionally, I'm using version 6.1, and I was unable to locate this variable there. Has it already been merged into another variable or rendered obsolete? Since I couldn't insert it here for some reason, I submitted a screenshot!

The average is a global variable, while dtopo1.theta is a field variable. Where are you looking for the latter to be? You can plot it for example.

Thank you for your reply. I'm looking for theta, but find only theta_avg. I'm asking where can I find the field variable theta.

If you solve a structural mechanics problem, you can plot the displacement field. But you cannot find that field under global variables. You will have to probe displacement in a point, or integrated or averaged, or something similar to be able extract the numbers. Same thing with the theta field. You can plot it, extract it in points, or something similar. But it is not found as a global variable.

Thank you so much, I found it by clicking help on "density model".
