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.

Hello,

You may want to try refining the base mesh around the location of the crack mesh so that the transition from the crack mesh to base mesh is a bit better; the base mesh looks somewhat coarse from the picture shown. You can use a local sizing option such as sphere of influence using the crack coordinate system as a point of reference.
