Thank you, indeed the Forum is very responsive.
Which approach would you recommend me to discover the complexity and all those "other things" making up FreeCAD?FC is far more complex, as there are many other things
It is difficult to tell, as probably FEM is telling you nothing (even for me I have seen something to guess about the argument, but a real use is out of my reach).
IMO the approach is:
Keep experimenting and modelling, with some "real goal" like I want to make this, then when you encounter a problem, ask here and usually you will find some answers and probably some hints of "what could have done in a different way", so you have "more knowledge".
I speak of "real things" in a broad sense like "I want to make a plate with 100 holes disposed this way" or "I want to make a floor plan" or "I want to make this part to print it on a 3d printer".
As these goals are "real", i.e the goal is to make some "objects" that could have a "real use" or a "real meaning" it is more centered on a scope.
If not you could learn how to make 10000 lines spaced by 2mm and composed in a grid, but probably this will be:
tedious
time consuming
without a real use
If you intend to make, say:
a new knob for you microwave oven (I have modelled one for my wife), it is more "real" as you are faced with a "real problem" probably not a big problem, but less abstract that 10000 lines layed out on a plane.
