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.

Hi

I would suggest to use solsh190 elements (soild shells) instead of only shell elements - see here what solsh190 are and how to mesh with them.

/forum/forums/topic/element-solsh190/

Than it is also much easier to use bonded contact between them since both have a 3D geometry representation.

All the best

Erik
