Hi Matias, hi everyone
I have been experienced similar problems with the simulation of an ion source with SPIS v4.0.0 (ratio of validity extremely high and integration times extremely, as described in Matias' log), so I decided to download v4.2RC3 to see if everything worked.
Now, I can't even start the simulation :). The mesher is unable to load the mesh from GMSH. I get the following log:

I downloaded the full Spis4.200RC3 carpet from the site and checked that GMSH works and is in the right location. However I also noticed that when I try to open a .geo file directly from the Geometry/CAD manager in SPIS, GMSH does not open the .geo file I specified for my project (it doesn't open any file actually).
Any ideas ?
Thanks,
Jaime
