Hi, I'm working on the flow of air inside of a hovercraft. I have cut it in half and sealed the side and bottom in Solidworks. I have then created a surface on the intake to seal the inside to then use the fill function and create the inside geometry of the hovercraft. When I try this an error tells me it's impossible to create the inverse geometry of my file. Does anyone have an idea of how to fix this issue? I'll be quick to answer any question

It looks you have imported surfaces. From image it looks like you need to carry some geometry operations before creating solid from surfaces.
The caps should be confined with the edges and should not extend beyond.
Please check if there are any missing faces. You can try on some small geometry first. Then use this geometry which has many faces.
Please see Create - Body Operation - Sew option to create solid from surfaces.
Please go through help manual for more details
You can also check SpaceClaim.
Also if you are using student version, make sure that you simplify your geometry considering 512K cells limitation of meshing.
