Export is not creating the proper iges file to import to another tool and render the surfaces

I created two spheres and "split" them with a defined plane to create uneven sizes. I select the split parts and "export" them as an iges file. The split spheres on one side of the cut plane (blue in the attached .jpg image) render correctly when imported into a meshing tool. The split portion of the spheres on the other side of the cut plane (orange in the attached .jpg image) do not render properly IF the split particle is larger than 50% of surface area of the original sphere. You read that correctly, the orange split particle that is a small fraction of the original sphere renders properly but the LARGER one does not. (Odd...) This was verified by a colleague who also read them (imported) the exported iges files into SolidWorks. The larger particles on the "orange" side of the split plane render as a whole sphere in the meshing tool I use and as a distorted sphere in SolidWorks. IGES format is the only format my meshing tool seems successful importing.
