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

You can use nsel (using say EPEL to select nodes with strain above a value) followed by esln commands. See the help manual on these commands.

Also this tutorial describes this, and how to do what you need (just need to select based on epel strain instead of seqv stress like in the tutorial).

All the best
