Model Disappearing Upon Simulation Despite Mesh to BREP

Anonymous

Completely new to Fusion 360, so hopefully there's a simple solution here. I've uploaded the attached DWG file into Fusion 360 but it disappears when I switch from the design to simulation workspace. I've read the only other similar post I can find on this forum where the poster solved their issue by converting their mesh model to Brep, I've tried this here and had no luck despite the conversion being successful. Any ideas on what to do to have my model show up in simulation?

 

Cheers

I only tested one of the pedal bodies, but it seemed to work OK.  If any of your mesh bodies are not watertight, the Mesh to BRep conversion will produce a surface body, not a solid, and Simulation will not recognize surface bodies for simulations.
