Hello everyone,

I am solving a case for 3D cube geometry. First, I have created cube mesh for 1mX1mX1m dimension then transferred the geometry to smaller scale (0.00005, 0.00005, 0.00005) by using transformPoint scale utility. I am using mechanical and thermal properties (e.g. Youngs modulus, conductivity, specific heat etc.) for the case.

Do I need to change the dimensions of mechanical and thermal properties after reducing mesh size.

For example: E = 210 X 10^9 N/m^2
Since this value is in "m", if I change cube dimensions in "mm" should it be
E = 210 X 10^3 N/mm^2 ?

Does anyone have any idea about it?

Best regards,
Sangeeta
