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 Alessandro,

An acceleration load in the X direction is not a symmetric load when you split the model in the YZ plane at the center.  You need a full model.  An acceleration in the Y or Z directions is a symmetric load.

To reduce the model size, convert the solid geometry to line bodies with beam properties assigned. This can be done in SpaceClaim or DesignModeler.
