  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.

  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
