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.

Hi

Node merge has most likely made some elements unsuitable for FE (hence Jacobian error).

If the geometry is just touching between them, and the wires are bonded then try shared topology. See below

All the best
