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.

Check the contact definition. Is this a shell model? then, make sure blue and the red faces see each other. You can use the setting "contact shell face" or "target shell face" and switch to top or bottom side. 

See if you can use a different contact algorithm. Try MPC instead of the default algorithm.
