Hi,
I am a new user of flow 3d and am trying to simulate flow through a flow focussing device. I created the geometry using solidworks(dimensions in 'mm') and imported the stl file in flow 3d. In the model setup--> General tab in flow 3d, i have the simulation units as SI. I was wondering what will be the global magnification factor( Meshing geometry-->geometry->Component1->Subcomponent1-> Transformations-> Magnifications->Global) that I have to use inorder to get the correct units conversion. Say for example, If I have a solidworks STL file in 'mm', and I have set the units in flow 3d in SI(in the general tab). What magnification factor will I have to use when I import the STL file. Thanks! Last edited by sameer10dulkar; May 7, 2010 at 16:55. Reason: more information on the problem |
