[mesh manipulation] Wrong scaling

pascal · September 14, 2006, 06:39

Hi.
I am running an interFoam case for a VoF problem. But I think that the creator of the former step-file has scaled it in millimeter. when I convert it, suddenly my mesh is about 600meter tall. is there a tool which can scale it back to millimeters? in an other thread, there was a post with the command scalePoints... , but the command is unknown.

It is transformPoints:

Usage: transformPoints <root> <case> [-translate vector] [-parallel] [-rotate (vector vector)] [-scale vector]

Enjoy,

Hrv
