The loads and boundary conditions could not be mapped to the voxel model and might not be considered in the optimisation anymore. LBCs should always be applied to Non-Design Spaces. These ensure a correct consideration of the LBCs during the optimisation.

Cannot copy output file. … does not exist as regular file
This might occur while performing a Command Line optimisation. While the SwitchAddRemove (schedule.iterations.OutputDuplicateInErode.outputMode, schedule.iterations.OutputDuplicateInGrow.outputMode) option is active only every second iteration is visible as an result. In this case the iteration could not be copied but the optimisation will continue. To remedy this situation delete the output folder and start the optimisation anew.

Unable to compute centroid for geometry … using bounding box center instead
A “corrupt” STL/PLY file was supplied for a Mask named in the warning text. Depending on other mask settings (whether the surface is to be used / filled), different centroids / centers of gravity are computed. This warning indicates all those attempts have failed and instead the bounding box center is used.
This can happen if the input has degenerate triangles or is not a closed surface. Please check the input files or replace these if possible.
