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.

UX, UY, UZ are deformation, not location. It looks like all nodes are moving consistently (rigidly) in the Z direction, and deformation is only in X and Y directions. Are these rigid body impacts? Maybe the different X and Y deformations are due to rigid rotation of the bodies (around Z)? 

LOCZ would be the undeformed coordinates and LOC_DEFZ would be the deformed locations.

Can you give more explanation on how this model is behaving and supposed to behave?
