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.

If the physical problem has a 10 mm depth with a 185N normal force, and you build a Plane Strain model that has a 1 mm depth, the force in that 2D model should be in N/mm or a value of 18.5 N/mm and then you will get 328 MPa of contact pressure.
