Units

This is the next sub-level in the tree under Analysis. It provides an option to define a unit system within the Analysis dialog.

Unit System:

• CAD Model: It is the default unit system defined in Document Settings of the CAD Environment.
• SI: It is the MKS system (meters, kilograms, seconds, newton, kelvin and degree).
• Modified SI: It is the modified MKS system (millimeters, tonne, seconds, newton, kelvin and degree).
• English: It is the British / IPS unit system (inches, pounds seconds square per inch, seconds, pounds, Fahrenheit and degree).
• CGS: It is the system used to set the standard units as centimeter, grams, seconds, dyne, Celsius and degree.

The units selected within the Analysis form are defined only for that specific Analysis. The units are also exported to the Nastran Bulk Data file as PARAM, UNITS, MM.

Once the units are defined, they will show up in the tree under Analysis and in the results output text on the lower left corner of the canvas, as shown in the below image.
