I just went one step back and tried to recreate the entire model from scratch again, starting with meshing using your settings above in different v2.2.x., Effectively replicating all steps I am doing on my other machine. I get this error:
01/14/25 12:00:48 Unhandled Exception: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly ‘GmshCommon.dll’ or one of its dependencies. The specified module could not be found.

This error appears when using the “Extrude Mesh” option in the file FEAnalyst’s file from 1st December above or when trying to use shell elements on a solid core. Any simple solid meshing without additional parameters works well. Could this be the origin for all the other errors? I’m not aware anything else would need to be installed but am I missing something?
To ensure there is no firewall or virus protection impeding the working, i added the entire folder as an exemption to the Win11 defender Virus and threat protection settings. Even tried to turn off real time protection altogether… but also no luck… the gmsh issue was solved using the missing dll’s from this thread: Extrude meshing question - #26 by Trevor
…but even now running the “job failed”.
Many thanks.
