Hi y'all,

I'm trying to mesh an internal fluid domain, and I'm consistently getting the following error:

"At least one body has no elements in it.  This may be due to mesh based defeaturing of the geometry.  The offending bodies can be identified in the worksheet view on the Geometry folder and suppressed if desired."

When I googled the error code to find past threads, I found that the general consensus was to look at the "Worksheet" tab to see which body has 0 elements/nodes and this is what I see.

I'm sure the problem had to deal with the geometry of the fluid domain. I used the extract volume feature on the inlets and outlets of a manifold, then used the "combine" feature to merge the bodies into one, resulting in the geometry above. Where did I mess up? Is this a meshing problem or do I need to edit my geometry in spaceclaim?

Duplicate. I don't mind multiposts due to forum glitches, posting in two different places isn't a glitch. Don't do it again.
