10.3.3 Scaling a part during the import process

When you import a part, you can choose to maintain the dimensions stored in the file, or you can change the scale of the part during the import process. You can do the following:

Enter a scale factor that ABAQUS/CAE will apply to all of the coordinates in the file. Any offset from the origin will be scaled accordingly.
If you are importing a part from an ACIS file, you can read the scale factor, the rotation matrix, and the translation matrix from the file.

You can also change the scale of a part while copying it to a new part. For more information, see “Copying a part,” Section 11.5.
