When I export a geometry of a model in CADFEKO as an IGES file the default unit is in millimeters. May I know if it is possible to specify the unit as meters? I am working on a ray tracer which assumes the unit of a input geometry as meters.
Hi @Shan25 ,
You are right, when exporting as IGES, millimeters are written in the file. Unfortunately there is no way to change this in Feko, maybe this is also a condition in IGES? Interestingly, this also seems to be the case with STEP and CATIA. Only Parasolid (which Feko uses internally) seems to use meters when that is the global unit.
Maybe you have the possibility to scale when importing into the other software?
Best regards,Torben
Thanks for the clarification Torben! From my experience in the iges file unit is not restricted to millimeters. Anyway it is fine!
