We’re putting the final touches on our new badges platform. Badge issuance remains temporarily paused, but all completions are being recorded and will be fulfilled once the platform is live. Thank you for your patience.

Hello Jack,

Instead of modifying the geometry, you can scope the results to areas of interest. Since, rivets are designed to fail in shear and excluding plate failures, most rivet failures occur on shank. You can scope the results to the face of the shank and use that data for comparsion with analytical data.
