Use the following command in the .geo file and give a try
Mesh.ScalingFactor=0.0254; |

No luck with that. I got an error when I opened the .geo in gmsh. I also tried putting it in the .msh file but gmshToFoam didn't like that either. Does it have to be in a specific location?

Hi William,
you might try the transformPoints utility: Convert your mesh to OpenFOAM. Than call Code:
transformPoints -scale "(0.0254 0.0254 0.0254)" |

You will find the converted mesh. But the .geo file doesn't change its coordinates. You can also try what Mr.Martin said. Even that works well |
