Why only this solid part is not mappable?

I was wondering if anyone can tell me why that one piece of this solid ended up being not mappable!?

As you see in the screenshot, it was a cylinder that I cut that way (the cuts have to be that way for some reason) but only that piece is not mappable!

The whole thing is symmetrical!

I'm using HM 13 and Abaqus as a solver.

Thanks,

Maysam

    figured it out... apparently there was a shared edge that supposed to be suppressed. no idea how it got there though!!

    I leave this topic here just for anyone that gets confused like me.

    You can inspect model for any unnecessary feature line which would have lead your model as not mappable.
