I/O Options Entry
UNITS - Unit System for the Model
Description
The UNITS command can be used in the I/O Options section to define a system of units for the
model.
Format
UNITS = system
Argument Options Description
system <SI, CGS, MPA,
BG>
No default
SI: International system of units.
Length: meter = m
Mass: kilogram = kg
Time: second = s
Temperature: Kelvin = K
Pressure - Pa
CGS: Centimeter-gram-second system of units.
Length: centimeter = cm
Mass: gram = g
Time: second = s
Temperature: Kelvin = K
Pressure = barye = 0.1 Pa
MPA: Mega-Pascal system of units.
Length: millimeter = mm
Mass: tonne = tonne
Time: second = s
Temperature: Kelvin = K
Pressure - MPa
BG: British Gravitational system of units.
Length: feet = ft
Mass: slug = slug
Time: second = s
Temperature: Rankine = R
Pressure = Ibf/ft2
