Import old Abaqus model .inp file into CAE?

I have an older .inp file that I would like to import into Abaqus CAE to visualize the parts, material properties, steps, boundary conditions, etc. in a GUI instead of just the text file. Is there any way to do this? When I currently try to import the model, it gives me the following messages:

A new model database has been created.
The model "Model-1" has been created.
The model "lady3static_original" has been created.
AbaqusException: in keyword *FLUIDCAVITY, file "lady3static_original.inp", line 189421: The keyword is misplaced. It can be suboption for the following keyword(s)/level(s): model
in keyword *FLUIDBEHAVIOR, file "lady3static_original.inp", line 189423: The keyword is misplaced. It can be suboption for the following keyword(s)/level(s): model
in keyword *FLUIDDENSITY, file "lady3static_original.inp", line 189424: The keyword is misplaced. It can be suboption for the following keyword(s)/level(s): model, fluidproperty, fluidbehavior
in keyword *FLUIDBULKMODULUS, file "lady3static_original.inp", line 189426: The keyword is misplaced. It can be suboption for the following keyword(s)/level(s): model, fluidproperty, fluidbehavior
This occurred while parsing the input file. Run the input file through the batch pre-processor to check for syntax errors.
The model "lady3static_original" has been imported from an input file.

And then does not show any parts, loads, boundary conditions, steps, etc. even though they are in my .inp (see attached).

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

CAE doesn't like how the fluid cavity data is defined in the input file. This is obvious from the import messages.

If you delete lines 189421, 189423, 189424 and 189426 from the input file the parts/properties/assembly etc import fine.
