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, 

Error "termination due to out-of-range-forces' indicates that there is instability in the simulation.

Here are some general tips for how to combat instabilities:

Good practice is to locate where are the nodes/elements that give this error, it should be indicated in the message file (mess00XX MPP or messag -SMP), and visually inspect a model. 

Please let me know how it goes,

Thank you,
Alex
