Win-Conda Weekly Builds do not seem to include FEM Workbench

[FreeCAD97990]

For a long time now, I have been downloading the Win-Conda Weekly Builds from the Github website as they became available.

Then I unzip the .7z and run from the FreeCAD executable.

But, over the last couple of months I have been finding that when I then select the FEM Workbench, I see:

* DLL load failed while importing FEM
The specified module could not be found

I've tried doing a completlely clean install, by removing the system and user configuation files beforehand so that new ones are created.

But the problem still occurs.

Instead, I have been using the Win-LPv12.5.4 Builds from the Github website. These always allow you to select the FEM Workbench properly.

Any thoughts anyone?

is there anything else reported?

Hi looo

Thanks for your quick reply.

I've had another look, and in the Report View it adds:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 72, in Initialize

Hope this helps.

I can't reproduce this issue. Both (conda-env and the bundle) work for me as expected.

I can not either. Downloaded the latest, as of this post.

Thanks looo and sgrogan for your replies.

Clearly, not everyone is experiencing this problem.

And, indeed, I may be the only one who is having this trouble!

But it has been happening for a couple of months now, so I eventually I decided it was worth posting a message about it.

As I mentioned in my first post, I'm simply downloading, unzipping and running these Win-Conda Weekly builds, and I have no idea what is causing this problem with the FEM Workbench, or what to do about it. My computer runs Windows 10 and is a very simple set-up.

But I am quite happy just to continue downloading and running the Win-LPv12.5.4 builds instead as they appear. This works fine for me.


Please post a message, though, if you see the same problem that I have described.
