We’re putting the final touches on our new badges platform. Badge issuance remains temporarily paused, but all completions are being recorded and will be fulfilled once the platform is live. Thank you for your patience.

I don’t know for sure but I suspect you need to apply the gravity load during dynamic relaxation and not just in normal phase alone.   given SIDR=0 in your define_curve, maybe try to include DR and see if your model behaves correctly.

I have to say, I can’t 100% exactly follow your model just through text by reading it once so apologize if DR wasn’t the reason.
