Firstly I agree with Kapi, we cant help you much without any detailed explanation.

Secondly the error is somewhat self explanatory.

There can be several issues:

The geometry is corrupt.
The CAD program is missing
You are trying to use a geometry format that your cad program does not support.

There are so many possible reason.

After I uploaded my STEP geometry in design modeler.
upon launching mesh. When i want to generate mesh a dialog box appears "update failed for the mesh component in fluid flow. Error updating cell mesh in system fluid flow.
