🐞 Description of the bug

When trying to export a geometry created within the pygemetry context to a pmdb file it fails with the following error:

📝 Steps to reproduce

run the following script:

from ansys.geometry.core import launch_modeler_with_geometry_service
from ansys.geometry.core.misc import DEFAULT_UNITS
from ansys.geometry.core.sketch import Sketch
from ansys.geometry.core.designer import DesignFileFormat
from ansys.geometry.core.math import (
    UNITVECTOR3D_X,
    UNITVECTOR3D_Y,
    Plane,
    Point2D,
    Point3D,
)

modeler = launch_modeler_with_geometry_service()
design = modeler.create_design("RVE")
w = 0.05
unit = DEFAULT_UNITS.LENGTH
start_at = Point3D([w / 2, w / 2, 0.0], unit=unit)

plane = Plane(
    start_at,
    UNITVECTOR3D_X,
    UNITVECTOR3D_Y,
)
box_plane = Sketch(plane)
box_plane.box(Point2D([0.0, 0.0], unit=unit), width=w, height=w)

box = design.extrude_sketch("block", box_plane, w)

design.download(
            file_location="block.pmdb",
            format=DesignFileFormat.PMDB,
        )

the result is the same even if we change the design.dowload for the following command:

design.export_to_pmdb("block.pmdb")
