hi there developers,

i want to make a conformation about the unit used in the material properties. young modulus (N/mm2),density (t/mm3). is the unit correct? and what is the unit used for heat conductivity and heat expansion?

thanks :)

Hello peripero,

it depends on your modell. If the dimensions of your modell are mm, then its´s right. The unit conventions are independently managed by the user! (see user manual, page 5)
The unit for heat conduction is W/mm*°C and for the heat expansion 1/°C. By the way, it doesnt`t matter if you use °C or K for the thermal units. I would recommend °C. :D

Best regards,
M. Frisch
