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.

No.  My apologizes.  I directed you to the incorrect section of the MAPDL.  I am not recommending that you try submodelling.  I am recommeding that you consider using substructuring.  See the MAPDL Substructuring Analysis Guide.  With substructuring, you "condense" a portion(s) of the model into "superelements".  The superelements have a reduced set of DOFs.  You have the opton to later "expand" the superelements if you like.
