Bad interpretation of STL

Hi,
I created a 3D object on Fusion 360, then export to STL for S3D. But, S3D generates a bad .G file for me. The result, my object is as if perforated in places. I also converted the STL into a .G file with CURA, this is the result is impeccable.
Do you have an idea ?
3 files here :

I'm happy to look further into this. The file sharing service you used is generating an internal server error when I try to download the file. Can you attach the print here as a factory file? (File > Save Factory File As in Simplify3D)

I was able to eventually get it to download. It looks as if the model has several identified areas where the model is intersecting its own triangles. This is generally not good for sliced results in Simplify3D. I'd suggest cleaning up the STL in Microsoft 3D Builder's automated repair functionality or remodel it in your CAD package and export a clean model.

- Self Intersecting Check
Another common solution is to check if the model can be split into multiple bodies via Mesh > Separate Connected Surfaces.

Thank's a lot to respond me !
I use Fusion 360 for modeling and exporting in STL.
Do you know the function in Fusion to cleaning the file export ?

It's ok, you gave me THE solution : Mesh > Separate Connected Surfaces.
Thank's
