  Question:
  
  1.How to show the contour results of the element density for topology results?
  
  2. How to use the "smooth shape(beta)"?
  
  when the "smooth shape(beta)" is opened, the update is failed when this option is selected.The error show that "update failed for the shape exploration component in study. error running in smoothing script"(the elelment type for tetrahedron and hexahedron are all tried).
  
  3.Could show the results with deformed shape and undeformed shape together?

  Hello Frank
  
  Regarding question 2, I was able to reproduce the issue. I will check with the team and let you know but please note that Beta features have not been fully tested and validated so there could be chances of failure. I would request you to disable this option for time being and proceed with topology optimization.
  
  I am looking into the other 2 questions and will get back to you.

    Hello Frank
    
    Regarding question 1 (How to show the contour results of the element density for topology results?) once you export the optimized model, you will have to setup the simulation (Mesh - Physics - Results) on optimized model to study the results.
    
    Regarding question 3 (Could show the results with deformed shape and undeformed shape together?), when the optimized model is exported, you get both optimized as well as original geometry. But it is not possible to see results of both models together.
