Units for all input and output data used in all windows and tables can be set in this window. By default, during modeling, 1 kgf = 10 N.
Units can be changed at the any moment of time. Before analysis or after analysis
Property |
Description |
Length |
Units for linear dimensions (element length, etc.). If "ft-in" units are chosen, then lengths are represented in the following way:
|
Diameter, thickness |
Units for small value linear dimensions (wall thickness, pipe diameter, etc.) |
Area |
Units for cross-section area |
Inertia moment |
Units for cross-section inertia moment |
Stress, pressure |
Units for stress and pressure |
Force |
Units for forces |
Moment |
Units for moments |
Temperature |
Units for temperature (installation, operation, etc.) |
Angle |
Units for angles |
Density |
Units for density of products, pipe material, etc. |
Mass |
Units for pipe element mass |
Central inertia moment |
Units for inertia moments of pipes, supports |
Use g=9.807 m/s2 instead of g=10 m/s2 |
g=10 m/s2 (default): 1 kgf = 10 N, 1 lbf = lb*10 m/s2 = 4.5359 N, 1 kgf/cm2 = 0.1 MPa, etc. g=9.807 m/s2: 1 kgf = 9.807 N, 1 lbf = lb*9.807 m/s2 = 4.4482 N, 1 kgf/cm2 = 0.9807 MPa, etc. |
Units for uniform loads are taken as Length/Force
