Usually this kind of error is associated with a bad IGES file. I would suggest to try using a different workstation, some times it works, or to try to repair the IGES in a CAD code (Pro/E does a goof job most of the times) or CADFIX, with works great in 90% of the cases. Of course the best solution will be to go back to the designer and ask him to provide a better quality IGES file. If he will be able to regenerate his part with an accuracy lower than 0.001 will work out great. What I have used to do, I always asked the CAD guy to read first the IGES back in the CAD and see the quality. If the CAD geometry is bad, then you should try CADFIX anyway. Also, as far as I know ARFILL is an ANSYS command, available in the IGES database, when imported with the defeaturing option on, so it might be useful. Hope this helps. Kind regards.
