  Hello - nYou can go for 'thicken sheet' option in order to make the sheets as solids.nWorkflow : Select the sheet ->>Modeler->>Surface->>Thicken Sheet. Give the adequate thickness (single side or both side) as per requirement. This allows you to assign materials as well.nFor more details on this, please refer the HFSS help document.nnBest Regards,nn

  Generally, you can not convert such a complex surface in HFSS's editor. But you can tryn-heal the model with tolerance for holes. it will srink, deform, but can become a solvable solid.n- modeller-surfaca-cover faces... for simple parallel surfaces it closes gaps... but in the spiral, will probably fail.n- use external editor, like Rhyno3D for fixing the model, then exporting it as IGES, or in other reliable format.n

  P.S. I afraid, thicken-sheet is not applicable here, unless you want to create a kind of hollow tube.n
