Unable to change length unit while importing CAD

[Jinge91]

Dear community,

I build my CAD(.scdocx format) in millimeter and while import it into pyprimemesh I have also set the LengthUnit in MM.
file_io = prime.FileIO(model=model)
read_param = prime.ImportCadParams( model=model, length_unit=prime.LengthUnit.MM, cad_reader_route=prime.CadReaderRoute.WORKBENCH )
file_io.import_cad(file_name=coldplate, params=read_param)

but after mesh generated and I import the mesh file into Fluent, the length unit somehow changed to meter.

in SpaceClaim, the length is in [mm]

but in Fluent it becomes [m]

What should I do for troubleshooting at this point?

Thank you for time and help!

best,
Jinge91

Hi @Jinge91,

Personally if I am using Fluent as the solver I would not be concerned with units if doing everything in SI and simply scale the model in Fluent on reading. But I will look into this and reply back here with anything further. Hope this helps. Thanks
