Leaking snappyHexMesh
 
2 Attachment(s)
Dear All,
I am trying to mesh an enclosure. I am using a closed volume for volume meshing and extracted surfaces for creating patches. There is 1 inlet and 1 outlet.
The problem is, if I mesh the volume without surface STLs as patches it meshes perfectly. As soon as I use extracted STL surfaces as patches it leaks, the same volume STL. I am attaching the two cases pictures.
Code:

geometry
{
    fixed.stl
    {
        type triSurfaceMesh;
        name fixed;
        regions
          {
              CFD_VOLUME_08            // Named region in the STL file
              {
                  name wallsassy; // User-defined patch name
              }                     
          }
 
    }
    inlet.stl
    {
        type triSurfaceMesh;
        name inlet;
    }

    outlet.stl
    {
        type triSurfaceMesh;
        name outlet;
    }
/*    canopy.stl
    {
        type triSurfaceMesh;
        name canopy;
    }*/

As soon as I activate the canopy.stl, it starts leaking.
Kindly help..
