How to know the dimesnios from .cas file?

Hello Dear,

Hope you fine and enjoying good health.
I've a .cas file of a reactor. The reactor has two parts separated by one porous wall. I want to draw its exact geometry in Design Module but I don't know the exact dimension of the two parts. I can find the overall dimension of the reactor by SCALING it in GENERAL but the dimension of each part is unknown. If you know how can I find, please leave a comment.

Thanking in anticipation.
Omer

Open the cas/dat in CFD-Post. Export an STL of your geometry (File > Export > Export, Type = STL), import this STL back in DM. Now you can start recreating your geometry over the original one.

If you have access to it, use ANSYS SpaceClaim instead. It is much better for reverse engineering.
