We’re putting the final touches on our new badges platform. Badge issuance remains temporarily paused, but all completions are being recorded and will be fulfilled once the platform is live. Thank you for your patience.

Hi

As Daniel said these elements are old and not supported - on beam188 you can use inistate command, or temperature (apply pretension), or perhaps pretension inside mechanical to apply a preload/stress.

All the best
