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. Regarding Topology Optimization, the solution information does not plot convergence history when a single response constraint is applied to multiple environments upstream of a Topo Opt run. Is this a bug?

      This is a limitation in R2019-R3 and earlier releases that has been addressed starting in R2020-R1. The workaround in earlier releases is to create individual response constraints applied each environment. Then you can plot the convergence history for each. Note: This is just a solution tracking limitation. The result will be same in R2019-R3 regardless if a single response constraint is apply to multiple enviroments or if multiple (and identical) response constraints are applied to each environment individually.
