[Gmsh] Skipping surface saving a file as .geo with a step file merged.

Hello to all members.

I'm trying to simulate a propeller in OpenFOAM, but I have a problem
meshing the file in gmsh. I created a CAD Model wich it is a volume with
the propeller inside. The propeller has a complex geometry but I see many
other complex geometry in gmsh that can get solve.

Well, once I've opened gmsh, then go to merge and select the STEP file.
(I've created the CAD Model in SolidEDGE so it's impossible for me to save
the file as brep), the file merges with no problem at all.

But when I'm trying to save as .geo file, gmsh just show me: ERROR:
Skipping surface ## in export.

These surface (With the error show) are the propeller surfaces so I can't
create my physical groups.

Do you think that the problem is with the CAD MODEL?

I really appreciate any advice. Thanks to all. I attach the step and geo
files.
