I dont have an idea why it doesnt recognize meshio inside PyCharm.
I also experience this outside of PyCharm using cmd in Windows

Solved using Conda environment inside PyCharm

Hey @artizzq, a colleague of mine has a similar problem on WIndows - he needs to use the git version of sfepy within miniconda, and got the same error (missing meshio, although it is installed) - can you share your solution? Thanks!

[artizzq]

Hello, @rc! Yeah, sure.

conda install -c conda-forge pyvista

conda install -c conda-forge meshio

conda install -c conda-forge sfepy

[rc]

Thanks! I wonder what causes the "missing meshio" error.
