Why is Simlab converting my 3D mesh into 2D (shell mesh) when I apply a load case?

The model consists of various components, and the bolts (2) are the only ones that get converted into 2D (shell) mesh when I try to apply the loadcase(s) necessary for my simulation. I tried to re-mesh them or even turn them into 3D mesh again but Simlab won't let me (a message saying the geometry has overlapping edges appears).
