Unit Systems
There are three unit systems available: mm / t / s, m / kg / s and in / lb / s. These can be changed in the settings menue in the “General Settings” tab. The corresponding units for Young’s Modulus, force, moment, stress constraint, stress and displacement are listet below
Available Unit Systems | mm / t / s | m / kg / s | in / lb / s |
---|---|---|---|
Young' Modulus | MPa | Pa | Psi |
Force | N | N | lbf |
Moment | Nmm | Nm | lbf in |
Stress | MPa | Pa | Psi |
Displacement | mm | m | in |
The corresponding units can be calculated with the conversion factors as follows:
| m / kg / s | mm / t / s | in / lb / s |
---|---|---|---|
Length | m | mm | in |
Mass | kg | t | lb |
Force | N (kg*m)/s²=N | N (t*mm)/s²=(0,001kg*1000mm)/s²=(kg*m)/s²=N | lbf |
Moment | Nm | Nmm | in-lbf |
Young’s Modulus, Stress, Pressure | Pa N/m²=Pa | MPa N/mm²=N/(0,001²*m²)=106N/m²=MPa | Psi |
Specific Weight | kg/m³ | t/mm³ = g/L | lb/in³ |
Acceleration | m/s² | mm/s² | ? |
