Butterfly Blockmesh component error

grasshopper butterfly

Hi. I have installed OpenFoam. However the error of Blockmesh component appears in all the example files when I open them. The error message is:1. Solution exception:‘ascii’ codec can’t encode character ‘\u59DA’ in position 106. And other example files are the same.

Traceback:
Runtime error (EncoderFallbackException): ‘ascii’ codec can’t encode character ‘\u59DA’ in position 106

Traceback:

Can you please share the GH file?

Just a guess: This might be caused by running a non-English Windows.

It is the first exmaple file “01_0_outdoor_airlflow” in butterfly examplefiles folder downloaded from Ladybug Tools. But I have solved this problem, thanks!

Thanks! You are right. The file path contains non-English words. I have created a new Microsoft account and now it works well.
