      Symptom: IGES data can’t be imported with the legacy reader which can be obtained on the Customer Portal V17.2 – Legacy Tools. Solution: The procedure search internally for the file tintops.exe. This doesn’t exists in 18.1. Create a text file in the .e.g. c:Program FilesANSYS Incv181icemcfdwin64_amdbin and rename it to tintops.exe. The routine will pass this check and imports your IGES with the legacy readers. As alternative use the File > Import Model function
