Hi Jelle, yeah, it is confusing me too. Actually you can command Abaqus to import IGES parts as solid. I guess it internally checks if the shells boundaries are okay and treats it as a solid, as IGES itself does not support solids.
I already sent the 2 step files at 1:25 pm. Didn't you receive them? I checked the mailing list and they should be in your mail.
