      In ‘Generate Surface Mesh’ task of 2020R1 and because of ~ character in the temp path you can get the following error message: Error: format: unassigned variable format (~/) Error Object: #/ The workaround is to remove the ~ character from ‘Generate Surface Mesh’ task directory. You can avoid it in the future sessions, by setting temporary files folder to something which does not have ~. This can be done in File > Preferences > Meshing Workflow > Temporary files folder. Set to for example E:temp
