Internally, force loads are converted to *CLOAD card entries. Nothing unusual, other preprocessors may do that as well.

I pinged the author of that workbench but it might be best to submit an issue in its GitHub repository.

No idea but there's a new build now - this time the proper one with a different number and features from merged PRs.

I wouldn't really worry about that. FreeCAD often throws such warnings and yet the referenced features are working properly. Moreover, Gmsh has some difficulties when handling specific configurations of the model tree but as long as the mesh is generated, it should be fine.

Are you using BESO ?

Yeah, it's sometimes the case that (especially Windows) weekly builds have the same number and no new code. Probably due to issues with compiling on Windows (or sometimes with compiling FreeCAD in general).

It was very slow again but now it's working fine for me.

Do you mean a reply in an existing thread ? It may stay rather slow generally due to that check for new replies.

It can always be a preference to satisfy everyone.

Yes, this was changed on purpose by https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/pull/13098 for consistency because all other geometry creation tools make normal geometry by default. IMO it makes perfect sense.
