Geometry breaking when importing .step into ANSYS from Solidworks

      Whenever I import the .step file into explicit dynamics using discovery, my model (a structure and a wall) only loads the wall. I have copied a picture of the cross section without the wall. This cross section continues for about 1770mm. The .step file is 130 MB. Is there a way to somehow make this model work as it is?
      pc spec:

      Processor   13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-13900K   3.00 GHz
      Installed RAM     32.0 GB (31.7 GB usable)
      GPU: nvidia rtx 4090
      ssd: samsung 850 pro

      Try exporting a Parasolid out of SolidWorks to import into Discovery, you might get a better result.

      I got this as a result of parasolid.
