Thickness is not defined in one or more shell

Thickness is not defined in one or more shell

Hi,
   I am working on static analysis of a solid body. I have defined the material etc. But there is one warning sign due to which the simulation is not done.
The warning sign is "Thickness is not defined for one or more shells". I checked my FeatureManager tree but there is no shell feature. However I see there are a few surface feature like "surface extend", "surface cut", "surface fill".
Am I getting this error because of the surface features?
How to avoid this warning and go on for simulation? Please let me know.

I appreciate your help in advance.

Thanks,
 

RE: Thickness is not defined in one or more shell

Check if you have any surface body in the model. If yes delete it using delete body and then proceed for the FEA.
