How do you convert 20,000 surfaces of an iges file into a solid part?

We have been sent a file from our client, who modeled up there unit in Autodesk Alias, they have tried to save as a step which didn't work and now an iges file. When opened the file has 20,000 surfaces which I'm trying to convert into a part so that we can make modifications.

What is the best way to convert?

Thanks
