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.

So for the question in that tutorial –in the normal stress probe you shown, the Z orientation is set, but in the Coordinate System, choose the Solution Coordinate System (not global) since it is asking for local z-direction (local z-dir. is thickness direction in the shell, hence why it is zero).
