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.

Stabilization may be the cause of this problem. Plot the Stabilization Energy, and the Strain Energy in a chart to see if your model has excessive Stabilization Energy. You will not need Stabilization if you follow these suggestions for a 3D model:

  1. Use Static Structural, don't use Transient.
  2. Use 1/2 Symmetry instead of a full model.
  3. Change the punch and die to Rigid Bodies

The model will be easier and faster to solve if you use a 2D Plane Strain model.
