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.

If I use a linear material with nlgeom, on, I don't find the same result on the 2 simulations, but if I put nlgeom, off, I do find the same results.

Thanks for this explanation, it's much clearer.

I'd like to use the inistate command in my simulation, but I have a non-linear material in large deformations. Do you have any solutions to help the simulation converge?

Thank you for your help,
Charlotte.
