During the import process, ABAQUS/CAE converts the entities stored in the IGES file to an internal representation recognized by ABAQUS/CAE. The IGES file can contain entities that are not recognized by ABAQUS/CAE; however, these entities are ignored during the conversion.
Table 10–1 lists the IGES entities that ABAQUS/CAE recognizes.
