ANSYS - UPGEOM changes the unit but not the magnitude

Hi all,

I am referring to the above thread as I have the exact same issue.

After running a linear buckling analysis, I wish to perturb the model by 0.1 of the deformation (which I assume to be scaled to max 1 meter) using the following APDL script.

/prep7
upgeom, 0.1 ,1,1,file,rst
cdwrite,db,file,cdb

But when I look at the model in the finite element modeller. It has shrunk by a factor of 1000.

Any ideas?
