What is in the IGES log file?

When you import a part from an IGES file, Abaqus/CAE creates a file called abaqus_read_iges.log in the directory from which you started the session. The IGES log file contains information about the entities that were translated along with any problems that were encountered.

Abaqus/CAE overwrites the abaqus_read_iges.log file after each IGES import. The following information is written to the IGES log file:

  • The global header information.

  • A summary of the IGES entities found.

  • IGES read options. The options displayed are the options used by the ACIS geometry engine in Abaqus/CAE during the import. You can control only the following options:

    • MSBO

    • Read trim curves

  • A conversion log.

  • Errors.
