On to my problem: I've created a very basic part (a wooden craft stick) and then using the a2plus workbench to "stick" 7 of them together to make a sort of squared figure 8 shape. I've then grouped these 7 items together into a compound in the Part workbench. I then went to the FEM workbench, created an Analysis, and then tried to generate a Netgen mesh which proceeds to hang FreeCAD for a few seconds before the application force closes itself. I've also tried with Gmsh masher which doesn't crash FreeCAD, however it doesn't appear to generate a mesh either, it just does nothing apart from create a node in the model hierarchy.
To summarise:
1 - Netgen mesh crashes FreeCAD every time
2 - Gmsh doesn't appear to do anything
Any help would be much appreciated, and I'm aware I've possibly done plenty of things wrong as I've pieced together information from the Wiki, YouTube videos and this forum.
One thing I did try as another forum post suggested was to run FreeCAD from the Terminal, and it still gave me the exact same problems as above, however when it crashed in the Terminal it reported "Segmentation fault: 11"
