I'm unable to use FEM workbench as it does not generate the mesh and displays the following message:

Earlier in 0.16 version, it used to work fine. Kindly help me with this.

Regards.

Someone who is used to compile FC might give you better answer.
I understand it that 0.17 dev is compiled without Netgen since we can use next icon (with G letter instead of N) to generate mesh by GMSH.

you are on windows ...

the latest dev from https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/releases does not include netgen mesher in FEM. This since the merge of new smesh code.

first solution:
Thus on https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/releases you can download 0.17.7745 which includes netgen. You can open both FreeCAD and copy the mesh from 0.17.7745 to 0.17.1xxx without any problem. Keep in mind to ONLY use 0.17.7745 for meshing. Most other FEM objects from 0.17.7745 does not work in uptodate FreeCAD.

second solution:
use the GMSH mesher, it is the button with the G right next to the one you pressed.

Thank you so much. This solution worked.

Sorry, but this solution didn't work. I tried downloading GMSHMesh macro (https://github.com/psicofil/Macros_Free ... sh.FCMacro) also, but it does not generate mesh.

You do not need the macro anymore. It is all included in the latest version from github relrases. Just use the meshbutton with a G on the icon.
