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,

It would be easier for the software to handle the geometry if it was built in the software with geometry objects like Spheres instead of importing a polygon with a large number of vertices.

That being said, even if you were able to build the geometry, running the simulation would require a large amount of computational resources due to the large simulation region small feature sizes. I can't really say how much unless you give a scale for these objects in your simulation, but it could easily require ~100s of GB of memory.
