Fracturecount attribute in FEM simulation not visible

I'm running a fractured solid object FEM simulation. I want access to the “fracturecount” attribute from the simulation.

The documentation states
“If the option Enable Fracturing is enabled on the finite element solver, then the fracturecount point attribute is created. The point attribute fracturecount maintains for each point, the number of times that the point has been involved in a fracture. So any point with a nonzero value of fracturecount has been involved fracturing.”

I have fracturing enabled everywhere and I cannot see this point attribute anywhere. Fractures are happening visibly in the viewport.

Does anyone have any idea what my issue is?

Thanks

Seems to be a 16 bug, fixed in 16.5 if anyone was interested.

The docs on this feature appear to be a bit out of date: The ‘fracturecount’ attribute is generated only when “Create Fracture Attributes” is enabled on the Solid Object.

I hope this helps.
