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, 

I don't know what your application is but in general 2D analyses are most relevant when there is some level of symmetry, which allows for reducing the order of the system.

The farther you move away from this assumption, the more 3-dimensional effects and other interactions may come into play, reducing the accuracy of a 2D model.
