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.

Why haven't any ANSYS staff responded to me? Recently, I also tried Němec's theory (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/). However, the geometric stiffness matrix calculated from the theoretical formulas still doesn't match the one in ANSYS APDL. What could be the reason for this? I sincerely hope that someone knowledgeable can resolve this long-standing confusion for me.
