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.

After Workbench crashes, how can I recover the project from a .mechdb file?

      If Workbench crashes, one may use the .mechdb files available in the project folder to reconstruct the model. This can be done by following these steps:
      1. Copy all the .mechdb files from the crashed project folder to a new location.
      2. Rename the file extension from .mechdb to .mechdat.
      3. Open a new WB project, drag and drop all .mechdat files into the new project page one by one. The project should now be reconstructed.
      4. Save the new project file and resume the simulation as usual.
