I am trying to see if it is possible to obtain more than 2 density regions as a result of topology optimization. Normally it is only Solid (density 1) and Void (density 0) and intermediate densities that are normally converted into Solid or Void. 
Is it possible to do it by custom script or change of settings? 

Thank you in advance,

Hi,

Please see if the following link helps: 2.4. Define Optimization Method and Regions (ansys.com)

Hi Ashish,

Thank you for your suggestion. The section that you have recommended discusses regarding multiple optimization regions before performing topology optimization. My requirement is to obtain more than 2 density regions as a result of density-based topology optimization. Do you have any ideas regarding that?

Thank you in advance,

Aswin
