I'm trying to get experienced with the sandbox configuration for which I've started with reproducing the cylinder case. what are the dimensions that are to be considered while generating the stl files are they in mm or meters ? |

Hi,
By default, the stl file is expected to have dimensions that are consistent with what you define in Incompact3d's input file (e.g., domain size, consideration (or-not) of non-dimensional units etc). However, you can use the scale option in .geo.from_stl where you can rescale everything to match your problem size (i.e. you can use the same stl to immerse objects in domains of different size).
