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.

The structure self-contact should be handled by *CONTACT_AUTOMATIC_SINGLE_SURFACE. Please see if the structure part is included in that contact. Please try using this option in *CONTACT_AUTOMATIC_SINGLE_SURFACE card SOFT = 2, SBOPT =3 and DEPTH = 5.
