I’ve been getting an error when i try to fit a dipole . It says

File ~\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\mne\bem.py:1466, in \_read\_bem\_solution\_fif(fname)  
1464 tag = find\_tag(f, bem\_node, FIFF.FIFF\_BEM\_APPROX)  
1465 if tag is None:  
 → 1466 raise RuntimeError(‘No BEM solution found in %s’ % fname)  
1467 method = tag.data[0]  
1468 tag = find\_tag(fid, bem\_node, FIFF.FIFF\_BEM\_POT\_SOLUTION)

RuntimeError: No BEM solution found in E:\MRI\sample\bem\sample-head.fif

Thanks
