A stud is 8 millimeters square.
A minifig sans headwear is 40 millimeters.
Depending on your value for human height (say 6 feet or 1.82m) Then our
conversion is:
8 mm 40 mm
----- = -----
X 1.82m
Thus, X = .364 meters/stud, or 2.75 studs per meter. Of course this value will
vary depending on how tall you assume the average human is for the
human/minifig height ratio, so replace 1.82 with whatever value for height you
wish to use.
I guess that mechanical engineering background is starting to pay off...
