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.

There is a simple Workbench Static Structural model to decide if a constant applied force will tip a structure over, assuming a no slip condition at the base.  Insert a Revolute Joint to Ground along the tipping edge. Insert a Remote Displacement on the opposite edge and set Y = 0 leaving all others Free. Apply Standard Earth Gravity in the -Y direction. Solve. If the reaction force on the Remote Displacement is up, it will not tip, if the reaction force is down, it will tip.  The downward force prevents the structure from tipping.
