Notes
Reads a file containing IGES data and transfers it into the Mechanical APDL database. The file transferred is the IGES Version 5.1, ASCII format file. IGES (Initial Graphics Exchange Specification) is a neutral format developed by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology. No output transfer file is written because the transferred data is read directly into the Mechanical APDL database.
You can import multiple files into a single database, but you must use the same import option (set with the IOPTN command) for each file.
The IOPTN command sets the parameters for reading the file. Files read via the SMOOTH method (the only available method) use the standard database.
