Meshing a Gasket?

Hi,
I'm having the following error when I run a simple model with a gasket between two steel plates with an external force acting to compress the gasket:

An error was detected when trying to generate surfaces on gasket regions. Verify that the sweep direction on the gasket is along the thickness direction, and that the surfaces are defined at the top bottom face.


I have redefined the mesh path and assigned the stack direction in Mesh > Mesh Controls > Sweep, however am still getting this error. I have also tried bottom-up meshing technique with no luck.


Any input would be greatly appreciated!
