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.

In Static Structural, you can compute the stress due to the centrifugal force = m omega^2 r acting on each element for a wheel spinning at 1500 RPM by using the Inertial load of rotational velocity.  This load can be applied to a wheel that has a fixed support at the center hole of the wheel. The wheel does not rotate during the simulation.  You will see a slight radial deformation due to the centrifugal force caused by the rotational velocity inertial load. You correctly converted RPM to revolutions/second.
