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.

I removed part of the vessel and changed the fixed support to the surface around the green circle in the image below. Now the total nodes + elements = 114,991 and I get the same error.

Then I changed the element size to 0.7mm and now the nodes = 36,635 / elements =  8,162. This model runs, but I had to increase the element size larger than the tutorial instructions (0.5mm)
