Hello dear all,

i met an error in ANSYS. As i exported an .inp file from nTopology software and imported it to ANSYS in a statical structural, the model unit turned out to be quite different. In nTopology it's 30mm and in ANSYS it's 30000mm and i found no way to change.

So did anyone else ever meet this error before and how can it be solved?

Can anyone help me? Thanks a lot.

The .inp file is in attachment.

Make sure you set the units to mm before you import the file.

Ah, that really helps a lot! Thank you very much!

just to add for the sake of completeness that we can choose the imported unit in the External Model System (see below - we need to highlight the A2 cell)


All the best
