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.

it took a while to simulate this, but it was cancelled with this error: 
(I did it with minimal steps of 200 and a pinball radius of 10mm but not in static structure yet, I will try this now)

The simulation in the ‘Static Structural’ module worked! Thanks for the tip with the pinball
