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 Eli, 

How can you compare /expect the same results between two element formulations that are different in how the fields are calculated and work? 

I mean added integration points and differences in the location of them might cause some differences as you are observing here. 

Have a reading from the following slides for further information on elements.

Cheers, Ram
