Question

Modifying Density and Units

All,

I just did a ANALYSIS->MODEL->MASS PROPERTIES. I noticed that the mass was in units of TONNE. I went to SETUP->UNITS and found that my units are in fact mm-N-seconds. So how do I get rid of TONNE's?????????? WF3.0, M040.

TIA,

    Neal,

    Your choice of any three basic units defines the fourth one (mass,
    length, time, force).

    In SI, the base units are kg, m, sec. The N is then defined as one
    kg.m/s^2

    now has a *1000 multiplier in the relation which generates it.)

    Best regards,
    Jonathan Hodgson
