Not limited to only 2022R2 but also 2023R2.

So if I place a a3dcomp with place_a3dcomp_3d_placement and create an HFSS setup -> this bug will trigger.

edb.stackup.place_a3dcomp_3d_placement
setup = edb.create_hfss_setup("Setup1")
setup.set_solution_single_frequency(frequency="2GHz")
setup.add_frequency_sweep("Sweep", frequency_sweep=[["linear scale", "0.1GHz", "8GHz", "0.05GHz"]])

Hello @askoeho, place_a3dcomp_3d_placement is not a property (to be used without "()"), but a function. The correct expression is edbapp.stackup.place_a3dcomp_3d_placement(path_str)

@gkorompi I'm very aware of that. It was just a simple example how to reproduce the problem with any parameters. Seems that this issue was fixed in some recent releases of pyedb.
