Change in dimensions of imported stl model

Post by Gurpreet Singh » Wed Dec 06, 2017 5:34 am

I created a cylinder in Solidworks of r=1cm and l=15cm and converted it into .stl format for importing in SV. But when i am importing the .stl model, the dimensions of my model increases by 10 times. Why is this happening?

Hi Gurpreet,

SimVascular does not do any conversions on imported models. Check the export settings in SolidWorks. My guess is that even though you created a model in cm, you are exporting in mm.

Thanks!
