ERROR: Symmetry BC requires that the boundary patch mesh face form a plane or axis

Hi there,

I have meshed my geometry of a BWB in ICEM and wanted to simulate it in CFX. However, when I run the solver I get the following error:

| The symmetry boundary condition requires that the boundary patch |
| mesh faces form a plane or axis. However, face set 15 in the |
| symmetry boundary patch |
| |
| Symmetry

My problem is that I cannot see in ICEM where the error is. I was wondering how I can access "face 15" mentioned in the error message. Or if there is a way in ICEM to find the problem.

It would be great if someone could help me
