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.

Replot with node values off and then have a more careful look at the result. I can see a couple of odd features in the contour, but can't tell if it's important or not. 

A transient effect in a steady run will usually mean continuity residual hovers around 1e-2 or so. Generally the curve is fairly flat but noisy. RSM is always more difficult to converge, and generally also picks up any transient effects in the flow.Â
