  I am fairly new to CFD and I am trying to make a mesh for some 3D wings however I am running to an issue where the mesher is giving me an "Error at host: Unable to open the file for read" and is stuck on generating the surface mesh. What is happening and how can I prevent this from happening in the future?

  Assuming there are no "odd" characters in the UserID can you re-try with a path that doesn't contain spaces? The workflow runs a script in the background and may see the spaces as something else.
