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.

This is an interesting issue. It seems you used the "Blender" software to create this image. I am not sure if it has any difference in data format from Solidworks. You may try the following:

1: simulate each of the import objects and see if meshing is correct.

2: if the meshing is correct, please change the default mesh order for the "blobs" and check if meshing is ok.

You may try Solidwork if it fails again.
