Imprint not working for partial contacts

Using SimScale
1

Im having trouble using the imprint command to resolve my partial contacts. My mesh keeps failing. Here is a link to the project. I tried for the STEP model as well as a Parasolid and the same thing happens. Any help from someone with experience resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Hi there,
The CAD model has some gaps and hence the Imprint function fails. The face has been highlighted in the images below. You can clean up the CAD model using ‘move’ or ‘extend’ feature. Hopefully this solves the problem!

Thank you very much. I realized I had a 0.00001mm seperation between two parts. I subtracted this seperation out and it worked.
