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.

Hello again Gary,

I think there was a little miscomprehension. Those very errors were no more pertinent as Mechanical is I can open it with no problem on its own. That said, crash occurs whenever I try to import a geometry with the pop-up present in second attached image in my last message. I registered all DLLs, Uninstalled all of my Antiviruses, Spent a few hours making sure no Windows Firewall or else were interfering with the program. It's really that it's likely another additionnal element is causing this issue and I really doubt it could be a script problem at this point (though it initially was). Mechanical is unable to attach geometry. I wanted to check out what the AnsysWBDumpFile had, but it was nowhere to be found. I precised a few things earlier to rule out as many things as possible, as I tried both Discovery and SpaceClaim, imported an IGS CAD file, and so far the problem persists.

The situation is really frustrating as resources online are very equivocal on the matter. In this situation, what can I concretly check to perhaps identify the problem to it. 

Thanks again
