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.

I'm pretty sure my mesh follows best practice (aspect ratio < 500, good orthognality etc), but I see that the minimum cell volume is negative. I also get a long warning message saying about left-handed faces vs right handed faces. Does this mean the cell volume is an artifiact of orientation or cell skewness? Alternatively, could it be that the cell volume is too small given that the maximum and minimum cell volumes are close to machine precision? I tried to fix the mesh via ANSYS Fluent (this normally works), console outputs what I see below. Thank you so much in advance!Â
