How do I import the stl file to mfix so that the dimensions remain the same as the initial size of the 3D stl file?

how do you import the stl file so that in mfix geometry it doesn’t change the size of the file dimensions according to the initial 3D design?
Usually the 3D stl file dimensions are in cm but in mfix it is translated in meters so the dimensions in mfix are too big.

any suggestion software to design 3D stl file for mfix? previously I used to autodesk inventor

When you import the stl file, select the unit corresponding to the stl file. Then it will be converted to meters. Say your stl file is 10 cm tall, once you import it with cm as the unit, it will become 0.1 m tall. If you do not change the unit, it will assume dimensions are in meters and it will be 10 meters tall.
