Hi Sebastian, If you export from a CAD package the `units' will be determined by the CAD. There seems to be no mention of Gmsh being aware of `physical units' such as meter or inches. For example, setting`mm' units in the CAD software, exporting as STL and loading into Gmsh (with `merge') gives a model in `mm' units. Presumably the same would happen with any other units you set in the CAD software.
Cheers, Mike. --- On Tue, 7/21/09, Sebastian Mathiowetz <[email protected]> wrote: From: Sebastian Mathiowetz <[email protected]> Subject: [Gmsh] Default scale format, change scale To: [email protected] Date: Tuesday, July 21, 2009, 8:47 PM Hi there, I´ve got a very simple question: in the manual it says that default scaling is 1. So when I define a straight line from points 0, 0, 0 and 0, 1, 0, is it´s size then 1 meter or 1 millimeter or what is the unit scale? I can´t find anything in the documentation, but I guess its SI units, so it must be 1 m, is that right?eqe When I click on the button 1:1 (Set unit scale, or sync scale) at the bottom of the GUI window, there just happens nothing...How can I change scale then? Thanks very much for any answers!
