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.

      The computation of pathlines through computed parts is extremely expensive in EnSight as the entire part dependency list would need to be recomputed for many temporal steps (EnSight only keeps one temporal step in memory at a time). By limiting pathlines to model parts, EnSight does not need to recompute all of the dependent parts, making it much faster. The quick answer is that computing pathlines in non-model parts is prohibitively slow.
