Hi all,

I'm trying to import parts created within Catia V5 Student Edition into Abaqus/CAE using File-Import-Part, however I get this error message regardless of the settings I try:

I've tried to export/import in other formats but more problems occur. For example, with .igs files the parts do not come out as closed sections, so I have to manually add the faces:

Importing as File-Import-Sketch does not work for any other file format either.

When I try to seed/mesh the part, I get this error message after using the .igs files:

which causes Abaqus to crash 90% of the time. I can import parts that have been created with the non-student version of Catia. I do not have the option to save files as .stp/.step but only .stpZ - is this a 'non-student-only' feature?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
