Note that run optimization creates the other workfiles correctly

I had this error if the path contained whitespace, because the external solver Calculix ccx 2.21 created the '.dat' file in wrong place. @Serince I found no other solution than to catch the issue and inform the user that 'File path containing whitespace is not supported for Topology'

Thank you, Let me check the issue!

I just did a test by creating a full path without any space: this workaround did the trick! But for sure it will stop many windows users to utilize this function.

Btw, thanks a lot for this amazing mod/addon!! This is just remarkable! A couple of questions: 1-I did a test for a personal project. I do have fix constraints which are on flat surfaces, not holes. Is it meant to work? Matter vanished away even on fixed surfaces (even at first iteration). 2-Is scipy really absolutely needed (I have installed it with anaconda)? 3-for the generative geometry, not sure how this works to add or remove object. I couldn't find any youtube demo nor instructions
