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.

I think the solver will deal with the buoyancy effects automatically - there's a reason we add mass to the 6DOF model! 

The best option for cell type tends to depend on what you want to know, and how you're modelling it. One approach that does work well is to drop the object with a fixed mesh around it and remesh further away: that means there's no remeshing around the object of interest and you can use inflation.Â
