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

As Daniel said these elements are old and not supported - on beam188 you can use inistate command, or temperature (apply pretension), or perhaps pretension inside mechanical to apply a preload/stress.

All the best
