Restricting IGES element types during exp

I am using some CFD software which expects imported iges files to be only of types 126, 128, 141, and 143, and geometry that is not composed of these 4 types is ignored. I'm not a very proficient user of Pro E, and I'm struggling to come up with the correct config file which produces the iges files composed of the expected element types.

Here are the values in the configuration file which I've been using.

IGES_OUT_ALL_SRFS_AS128
IGES_OUT_SPL_CRVS_AS_126 Yes
IGES_OUT_SPL_SRFS_AS_128 Yes
IGES_OUT_TRIM_XYZ No
IGES_OUT_TRIM_SRFS_AS_143 Yes


Using this configuration, I get an iges file made up of element types 100, 102, 110, 124, 126, 128, 142, 144, and 314, which results in empty output when I run it through my CFD program. I am using Wildfire 5, and like I said, I'm a rather novice user of Pro E, so I would appreciate any help you could offer.
