    So the cap was indeed turned off; I had been working with sheet bodies before and turned it off since I wanted to check the interior for meshing and other things. The model is meshing correctly now, too. I feel genuinely ashamed for committing such a silly mistake. I was thinking on Solid Edge...

    Well, I checked what you guys mentioned. The axis of revolution is the correct one (otherwise I would, as you mentioned, get a sheet body), the geometry all lies in the same plane and it is indeed listed as a solid body on the QuickPick pop-up. The same exact thing happens if I extrude a simple...

I ran into a problem when I used the Revolve command to generate my geometry; I chose Solid as the body type. On the FEM file, when I generate...
