Surface faces missing when exporting .STEP file

Hello! I'm trying to export a .STEP file of a large, thin parasolid cavity into StarCCM for flow analysis, but I'm experiencing issues when exporting sufficiently large models.

This model is the cavity I'm trying to export. However, StarCCM has an error when importing it, and reopening it in Solidworks for troubleshooting reveals it's some kind of one-sided mesh.

However, when I'm exporting a much smaller plane surrounding the fuselage shape, everything works fine and it loads properly in StarCCM and Solidworks.

Though, I need the model to be a very large plane for StarCCM to function properly. Any help would be appreciated!

Going to be hard to get any help without the file. Can you share the Fusion design as an f3d and attache here?
