Scaling does not change the anthropometric parameters (mass, inertial parameters)

In the following class, the `run_model_scaler` function does not seem to change the anthropometric parameters (mass, inertial parameters).
Am I missing something?

You have set mass to false and Preserve Mass Distribution to true; modelScaler() will ignore the scale factors when scaling mass and only look at the input mass. Since the input mass is (effectively) the same, you would expect no mass change. If you want the mass to change according to the scale factors, then you have to set Preserve Mass Distribution to false.
