import in STL and export in IGES

Hi,

 

I have imported a file into fusion in .stl format but now I want to export it as a .iges format, but every time I export it and save the file, there is an error. Also, the file this is exported is a few bytes in size, which doesn't make sense to me. And this .iges file, when I try to import it into fusion again, does not open. Can anyone help me as to why this is happening? Error report attached.

 

Thank You.

.stl files contain triangulated meshes. Igus files usually contain BRep geometry. I don’t think that .iges files can contain meshes. 
What do you want to do with the .iges file ?

Can you upload the initial STL or F3D file?
