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 Jiwon, reaction probes, in general, give nodal reactions. Below is a snip from the help documenation for heat reaction probe. The sign indicates whether the heat is flowing into or out of the body. For example if you apply a +10W heat load (heat flowing into structure) then you would expect a -10W reaction (heat flowing into the sink) in a steady state analysis.
