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.

  3. I am simulating flow past an airfoil, and I want to evaluate how the drag and the lift are affected by the angle of attack. I was able to get results for 0, 2, 4 and 6 degree angle of attack. However, once I went to 8, 10 and 12 the model did not converge. I am wondering if I am doing something wrong?
