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.

It might be, I can try refining the mesh more. Thanks for the suggestion. 

But the sharp edge that would cause such a singularity is only there if I cut along the corner, right? So it would not be representative for the full model? And that is why it is better for the uncut corners in the quarter model? 

At least from my understanding, Ansys does solve the model for an eighth of the geometry only (including a sharp edge where I cut the full model to obtain the eighth) and then in post-processing maps the solutions periodically to represent the full model, right?

So would there even be a way to get rid of a possible singularity in the eighth model? Because adding a fillet or something would alter the geometry too much.Â
