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.

Yes, that's what I meant. If solids nodes are constrained in z, you'll get plane strain response. And yes, for an orthotropic material, Poisson's ratio can in some cases be > 0.5. The restrictions on elastic constants in an orthotropic elastic material are laid out in the LS-DYNA Theory Manual in the subsection "Constraints on Orthotropic Elastic Constants".
