You may be able to Object->Optimize-vertices/surfaces out the problems but you may also need to use the Edit->Select-vertices/surfaces menus to select problematic geometry and then remove it.
Tried all that. This is a simple cylinder with a diameter of 4.258 m and a height of 3.495 m. The FHST cut-outs are roughly the shape of an ellipse with a wider base as seen on the schematic attached to this post.
