  Hi !
  
  I imported an extern model ( a keyword file (.k) from LS-DYNA, it gave me a mechanical model, but I have the impression the size are wrong.
  
  I want to give the right size, but I can't access to geometry model ( it was not create ? )
  
  Could you help me
  
  Thanks

  Do you mean a dimension is wrong or the whole model scale?

  The whole model scale is wrong, for example I have 10 meters for a sample where I should have 0,2 meters.

  Did you read the model straight into Mechanical or through SpaceClaim? If the latter check the dimensions and whether the units are confused. A factor of 50 is odd, a factor of around 25 usually means you've got inches and metres messed up. You can scale in SpaceClaim.
