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.

Hi

Use RBE3 (small deflections only), or CERIG (small deflections only) or MPC184 elements (or MPC contacts to do the load transfer).

See the help manual for possible examples and explanation of these commands (the web should have quite a lot of info also).

Thank you

Erik
