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 most cases, probably not unless you were careful to use the same IDs written by Mechanical, such as real constants, element type IDs, etc...

The loads you define by APDL will usually be separate and additional from what Mechanical writes.

But there could be some conflict applying the same type of load on the same nodes or elements.
