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.

It's fine to apply displacements to points on beams, edges on shells and faces on solids.
It's very bad to apply displacements to a point on a solid.
It's bad to apply displacements to an edge on a solid.
Both cases introduces a stress singularity into the model where the value of stress depends on the element size because the force is being divided by geometry (point or edge) with zero area.
