Units

The default units system for Rambshell and ramsolid is the International System (IS). They are:

These units can be changed in several parts of the program. Every window that asks for data for constraints, load or properties has a field to choose the units for that window. The chosen units are only applicable in the data attached to it in the same window.

The units in which are expressed the coordinates of the geometrical model are chosen in the Problem data window:

Data -> Problem data -> Units -> Mesh units

The units in which are expressed the results of the analysis can be chosen in:

Data -> Problem data -> Units -> Results units

Other predefined units that can be chosen are:

Results units can be expressed as:

Note that the units in this system does not form a compatible system.
