Importing a surface-solid object as a solid

hello, 

 

I have a part made in Solidworks that has both surface and solid components. When I import the part into Inventor, I need the part to be completely solid. How would I do that?

Well, the surfaces don't quite match up with the solid.  I hacked at it a bit and got the attached result (Inventor 2022 format), which is solid, but it doesn't have the funky curved bits from the original solid body:

Thank you for fixing that part! That was actually going to be my follow-up question. 

 

Sorry, I uploaded the wrong part and I was having an issue with this part loading into Inventor.

Hi! The SWX part file was saved in SWX 2021 (released in September 2021). You are using INV 2022 (released in March 2021). To read the file, you will need to install the coming INV 2022.3 update or INV 2023.

Many thanks!
