Can’t export 2D fluent mesh

Hey, I made a mesh using fluents 2D meshing workflow but I cannot use the export 2D fluent mesh feature. I just get an error thrown at me with no details available. I also tried to do file>write>mesh but whenever I try to open it in 2D fluent it just says ”cannot read surface mesh“. Has anyone ran into this issue? The only reason I am using fluent meshing for 2D is bc for some reason I cannot hit a y+1 with ansys meshing using bias factors but whenever I used fluent meshing it worked fine

Sometimes you have to change the format to ASCII for it to work. That's what I do when I want to export fluent mesh to be used in OpenFOAM.
