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.

Negative cell volume detected in Fluent. You can open the Fluent results and check the exact location of failure. I guess it is in the lubricant thickness region between the ball and the race. Have a sufficient number of cells of good quality in that region. 

You can refer 'Mesh Folds within the First Coupling Steps' in the user guide: 42.6. FSI Setup Recommendations for Fluent-Mechanical Couplings (ansys.com)
