Problem when importing Gambit mesh into CFX-Pre,Self creation of a face"Primitive 2D"

Hi everybody.
I ran into a problem when importing Gambit mesh into CFX-Pre; a self creation of a face named "Primitive 2D" , and which causes the simulation to stop without any iteration.
My domain (which is a volume ) has a very thin bottom face ( almost an edge) in order to get parallelepiped elements when meshing.
Is there any way to get rid of this "primitive 2D" face in CFX-Pre ? or have i to proceed elseway in Gambit to solve this trouble ??!

You really should fix meshing errors like this in the mesher. But if you cannot fix it then you simply select all the faces in CFX-Pre, including all the little bits, to make up boundary conditions and it should work fine.
