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.

Hello, 

Could you please check the STRFLG flag in *DATABASE_EXTENT_BINARY. It looks like the xy strain graph is engineering strain, setting STRFLG = 1 will write a cauchy strain tensor to elout. 

Please let me know if that helps. 

Thank you,

AlexÂ
