•When FLUENT reads a mesh file (.msh), all physical dimensions are assumed to be in units of meters.

–If your model was not built in meters, then it must be scaled.

–Verify that the Domain Extents are correct after scaling the mesh.

•

•When importing a mesh under Workbench, the mesh does not need to be scaled; however, the units are set to the default MKS system.

•

•Any “mixed” units system can be used if desired.

–By default, FLUENT uses the SI system of units (specifically, MKS system).

–Any units can be specified in the Set Units panel, accessed from the top menu.
