How to import mesh with dimensions measured inches?

Hello,

I have a problem when I import a previously meshed model from Hypermesh where my working units is in inches. Inspire assumes my units are in millimeters when I import the model. How do I ensure that Inspire reads inches from my mesh?

Thank you

Are you trying to import a .fem file?

Inspire will maintain the same dimensions of what was written in the fem file.

You can toggle what units you want to use for the model at the bottom right of the screen.

However if you want to convert the units, you can scale the model with appropriate number

Yes I am trying to import an fem file. Inspire assumes my units are in millimeters, however I would like to import my file retaining inches without having to rescale the dimensions.
