Yoon-sun Arm Stimulation Neuron Tutorial Project Compatibility Issue

[huangbj16]

I’ve been learning the Sim4Life software by following the tutorials. It is extremely helpful, but I ran into a problem. I hope I can get some help. Thank you!

I was following the step-by-step Yoon-sun Arm Stimulation Neuron HTML Tutorial provided in the software. I finished the first part EM simulation, but when I ran the second part Neuron simulation, it failed immediately after it started. I’ve attached the project screenshot and log files to help with debugging.

To make sure it’s not my implementation problem, I also ran the prebuilt Yoon-sun Arm Stimulation tutorial project. Again, the EM simulation finished, but the Neuron simulation failed with the same logs.

I suspect it's a compatibility problem with my laptop, but no clue how to dig deeper. To provide more context, I’m running it on a Alienware M15 Laptop, with AMD Ryzen7 5800H, 16GB memory, and RTX3060 GPU.
