Dear All,
I would like conver my results from FreeCAD (Calculix) to ParaView but when I run ccx2paraview.exe I have received error window about python37.dll object. Maybe I have misunderstood someting? I am beginner. Do you have any instruction step by step?

Re: Running FEM Calculix analysis throws python dll error
What would you like to do?
Would you like to convert the results created by ccx into Paraview format?
or
Would you like to export results created by ccx which have been imported into FreeCAD FEM out of FreeCAC into Paraview format?
cheers bernd

Re: Running FEM Calculix analysis throws python dll error
Hi, welcome, to the forum.
I use the ccxfrd2vtk.exe tool to convert frd to vtk (thanks to user mammah)
https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=11664
Extract the zip below to a folder you want.
Copy the calculix result file xxx.frd into the ccxfrd2vtk/bin/release folder
With mouse: drag frd file over mmh_ccx2vtk.exe, conversion starts.
The vtk can be opened in paraview.

See here: https://github.com/calculix/ccx2paraview
And here: https://pypi.org/project/ccx2paraview/Interesting Library.
It seems that the OP's problem is related to how the python executable was created. Only tangentially related to FreeCAD. I think the Python37.dll happens before FreeCAD is involved.

Thanks for response!
I am finally using thschraders advice and converting it by ccxfrd2vtk.exe. It's working, but when I try to open it in paraview it askme to chose a reader. Which should I chose?
It is simply mechanical structural linear anaysis with Netgen mesh.
