Meshing Units

July 20, 2005, 06:22

Hi

I transfered a .igs file to Pro-am to mesh, the units where mm and when tranfered it changed them to {m), how can a change the units of the whole mesh without redoing the whole mesh again?

And to avoid this happening again how can i tell when a transfer a file to pro-am that it respects the units of the geometry?

the units in pro-STAR (and pro-AMM) are all the same 1 to 1 so you mesh is in pro-STAR units, if you want to run it in mm you just need to set the scale factor on the geom write.
