Coefficient of Thermal Expansion

Coefficient of Thermal Expansion

I am trying to program the Coefficient of Thermal Expansion into a bridge design worksheet. I am using Mathcad Prime 1.0, and it will not recognize the units of "inches per degree Farenheit". The error message on the "degree F" unit is "This value must be a scalar or a matrix". I have degrees Farenheit identified elsewhere in my document, and it is recognized as a unit of measure.

Has anybody else run into this problem? My initial thought is to leave the units off of the constant, but I hate to do that if there is a quick fix.

Thank you!

Make sure you choose D°F not just °F in the ratio.

That was exactly the problem, thank you so much!
