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.

In what way was the slightly more complex model more complex?  Just more nodes and elements or did it include contact, some other nonlinearity or more complicated boundary conditions?  In general, transient results will be affected by dt.  At some point dt is smaller than the shortest significant period of the response and then the results will stop changing.
