How to make a model in one part (for me its coming solid and surface in ansys)

I have created a pitot tube model in solidworks with surfacing and then gave thickness to it. When i upload the model in ansys it show solid and surface both, due to some reason i want it to be in single solid part without compromising anything in design. Thought of using combine but its not active. Please tell what to do?

You can delete the surface body in solidworks before using ansys.

You do this in the solidworks model by finding the 'surface bodies' folder near the top of the model tree. Expand that folder then right click the surface body and select 'delete/keep body'. Make sure 'delete bodies' is selected as the type, and that's it. You should only have solids after that.
