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.

The angles between hands in tetrapod are ~105.9 degree, which is similar to my structure. The current mesh is uniform with 20 mesh cells in each dimension. I also tested with 50, but nothing changed. In the image of a first reply, you can see the simulation area where I applied Bloch boundary condition, it should preserve the periodicity. I think the problem is not from broken periodicity because the weird band is not within the band gap. P/S: I tested with different polarizations, as my first guess, it returned the same result
