Convert FEM to another unit using PATRAN

[glenn11897]

hi to all, i am currently trying to convert an FEM modeled using 'inches' (no loads - just elements) to 'meters'. i did this once but i forgot, all i remember is that i need a multiplier. i cant remember where the function is in patran.

hope you can help. thanks for reading...

glenn,

In Patran 2003, it is under PREFERENCES/GEOMETRY... If you are using some other version, you could always call MSC for support.

Happy Holidays.
