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.

UZ() is what we call a "get function."  It gets the current value of the displacement at a node, in this case node 11.   But it's a mistake in my input.  It should be v_11 = delta_uz_11/0.01  , the change in uz at node 11 divided by the time step.
