If anyone is interested and is having a problem using the IGES format model of frame, let me know I'll convert it for you.

WTF, it's 104MB before conversion, I wil do some cleaning and reduce as much as I can.

Hmmm, am running a cleanup, it will take a few hours (automated) Hopefully it will reduce the model somewhat.

Okay here it is, reduced it 4x from original, cannot do more as all tubing has thickness and I was not about to try and change that as I'd be better served remodeling the whole thing then.
Model attached, saved as SU7 and zipped.
