We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Deformation is relative to the starting location of each node, so it matters that one body travelled 1 mm before contact.
Plot Strain to see the local deformation of each element with respect to its initial shape, regardless of how far it had to travel before contact was made. The same goes for Stress.
