Discovery live – applying boundary condition for a faceted geometry

  Hi,
  I want to do a simulation on a faceted geometry (STL file) in Discovery Live. I am familiar with FLUENT and CFX however new to Discovery Live. I just can't select any faces for boundary condition. Clearly I am missing something, any suggestions?

  Convert the STL facet body to solid geometry using SpaceClaim.

  I thought Discovery Live is capable of working with faceted geometries directly? Below is a video for an earlier version of Discovery Live where the simulation was done on the faceted geometry. However the interface seems to have changed and the options are not shown when I double click on a boundary when I am in Design/Facets tab. However when I select Fluid Flow from Simulation tab, I no longer can select the faceted face.
  My geometry is extremely complex with upwards of few hundred thousand faces, so if possible I would like to avoid converting to CAD. This is also the reason why I use fault tolerant workflow in FLUENT as it helps me extract the fluid domain from STL files using wrapper.
