How to indetify baffles in Fluent meshing

  I am getting the following error while meshing (surface mesh step) a geomerty in FLUENT. Since "external baffles" is not a name selection or a solid in my geometry, how do I identify what zones the software is referring to here? I have looked through the face zones under display option but couldn't find it. Appreciate any thoughts or suggestions on how to figure this out
  Cheers!

  Hi,
  The error may arise:
  1) CAD is not imported properly.
  2) Surface mesh may get overlap
  Try to repair geometry in spaceclaim.
  Thank you

  Hi, I suggest you bring inspect your geometry in SpaceClaim. In the structure tree, right click on your model and select Check Geometry. SpaceClaim will hightlight any potential faults in your geometry.
  I hope this helps!
