Hey Foamers!!!!!

I have been stuck at mesh conversion problem since long... Kindly help me to understand the problem.

I am trying to simulate a stirred tank reactor in OpenFOAM using MRFProperties.

I have modeled the geometry in solidworks and imported to ansys mesh tool where I have done the meshing. However, when I try to convert the .msh file to foam file using fluentMeshToFoam <filename>.msh, I get the following error.

I know the error is due to generated Patch "interior-geom_solid1" which I have not generated. Herewith I have attached .msh file. kindly help me to understand the problem. Exactly where I am doing mistake (in ANSYS or solidworks)

If you're runningun a 3D case,
The proper command is fluent3dMeshToFoam
