      Gambit geometries are created w/o any unit information. When DM imported the geometry from .dbs (gambit) it assumes that the unit is mm. This is set by default and cannot be changed by the user. To fix the issue with the incorrect size of your model in DesignModeler, you can scale your geometry in DesignModeler by using “Create” -> “Body Transformation” -> “Scale”.
