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.

The Intrinsic FSI is fully coupled, it's just not as an advanced structural solver. 

Refining the mesh tends to need a smaller time step to avoid negative elements as one mechanism for their creation is a point/surface moving more than one cell size in one step. Also check for near wall-wall contact as that will give skew cells.Â
