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.

Hello,

You should not need to add the SUFC option manually - you can set this in Workbench from the time domain Analysis Settings, under Common Analysis Options:

You also need to start the Python server before the time domain analysis is launched. You can do this using a pre-solve Python script, or you can do it manually from the Windows command line. You can find an example of the Python server code in the Ansys installation, at C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\v232\aqwa\utils\ExternalForceCalculation\AqwaServerMgr.py (change the 'v232' as necessary for your installed version). You should not need to modify the code in AqwaServerMgr.py.

I hope this helps!

Mike
