Acuconsolve geometry units

Hello,

Can anyone tell me, if I am importing the geometry from Creo parametric 2.0, whose dimensions are in 'milimeters' and some Acuconsolve boundary conditions have the input value in 'metres' like (flow rate). Will this affect my solution??(like in velocity magnitude and pressure)?/

    It is best to be consistent while defining the BCs. Do proper scaling while importing the geometry and life would be easier image/emoticons/default_smile.png' alt=':)' srcset='/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x' width='20' height='20'>

    AcuConsole has options for various units while defining BCs. If you have volume flux in mm^3/s, then just scale it m^3/s (used in AcuConsole).

    After generating the mesh and before running the solver, do a dimension check with Model , Right Click, Info. These dimensions are in Meters.
