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 can see in the image that your output steps are 400; this will take more time for the simulation. If you want to speed up, you can reduce it; you may make it 100. Another thing, if you have a convergence issue due to contacts, then you may try reducing the stiffness values; this will ease convergence and make the simulation faster.
