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.

Many thanks, for your prompt replies to my questions. It seems my elements are SOLID 186, 187. I could learn a bunch of possible solutions that might help me to overcome the highly distorted element error. I am trying to apply them one by one, though it is too time-consuming to run an FSI model.
Out of curiosity, is it normal to take 2 weeks to run an fsi model with a workstation of 16-core and 32 GB ram? I am reading about it on the internet, it seems I shall switch to a modal-transient analysis rather than a fully transient one. I will be happy if you can please tell me something about this.
Grazie mille!
