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 Peter,

No you do not need to couple the dummy LAG elms to the ALE mat, as there is no real physical interaction beween them that we want. They are there as sensor locators only. They have no physical meaning. If the code complains, you may define *PART, *SECITON_SHELL, *MAT_RIGID (or something) for these dummy shells.
